Product: Ceramic Brake Pads for SRAM Level/Road Pre-2019 Brakes
Brand: Hold Fast Cycling
Details: Our SRAM Brake Pads Pre-2019 come in two awe inspiring compounds, Ceramic and Metallic. These are a direct replacement for several of SRAM’s Road and Level brakes. See the list below for a complete list of compatible brakes. Their distinct shape should be a dead giveaway for compatibility.
Features:
- COMPATIBLE WITH MULTIPLE BRAKE SYSTEMS: Engineered to work with a wide range of SRAM-compatible models, including SRAM Red Brake Pads 22 B1, FORCE 22, FORCE 1, CX1, RIVAL 22, RIVAL1, HRD/HRR, SRAM Level Brakes(pre-2019)/TLM, these bicycle disc brake pads ensure seamless installation across various setups. Perfect for riders seeking SRAM road disc brake pads or compatible replacements, these pads meet the needs of those using SRAM Level brake pads and other similar systems for reliable braking.
- SOFT COMPOUND FOR OPTIMAL BITE: Crafted with a softer ceramic compound, these SRAM-compatible disc brake pads provide strong initial bite for smooth, controlled braking with less force. They outperform traditional resin pads, offering an ideal fit for cyclists seeking responsive SRAM Level T brake pads and other compatible braking systems that deliver quick stopping power.
- EXCEPTIONALLY QUIET PERFORMANCE: Designed to keep your ride silent, these ceramic brake pads compatible with SRAM disc brake pads minimize noise and vibrations, enhancing your cycling experience on both city streets and rugged trails. Perfect for those needing bike disk brake pads that won’t disrupt their ride, these sram-compatible pads ensure quiet operation, providing the smoothness and control often sought by riders using SRAM Force brake pads and similar brake setups.
- REDUCED BRAKE FADE FOR EXTENDED RIDES: Made to withstand brake fade, these SRAM-compatible road brake pads provide consistent braking power, even during long rides or intense descents. Unlike resin pads, these deliver greater endurance and stability, making them a dependable choice for riders using SRAM Rival brake pads and other compatible systems for challenging terrains.
- DURABILITY THAT OUTLASTS RESIN PADS: While not as long-lasting as metallic options, these ceramic SRAM-compatible brake pads for bike provide a balanced lifespan, making them a more economical choice for frequent riders. With enhanced durability, they are ideal replacements for SRAM disk brake pads and deliver reliable braking over extended use without the frequent need for replacements. Packaging may vary.
Compatibility List: The SRAM Brake Pads Pre-2019 fit the following brakes: SRAM Red 22 B1, FORCE 22, FORCE 1, CX1, RIVAL 22, RIVAL1, SRAM HRD/HRR, Level (pre-2019) / TLM.
Ceramic Pads:
- Softer compound provides better initial bite than metallic.
- Quiet, no really, they are very quiet.
- Easy and quick to “bed in.”
- Less brake fade than resin pads.
- Not as strong in wet and sloppy conditions, but still provide great initial bite.
- May not last as long as metallic, but lasts way longer than resin.
Metallic Pads (aka Sintered):
- Harder compound lacks initial bite, but provides max stopping power under heavy load.
- Long lasting.
- Take a longer time to “bed in.”
- Can be noisy if it’s wet.
- Good heat transfer and better on long downhills.
- Good for cold weather, mud and wet conditions.
Don’t be afraid to mix and match your pads either. I often run metallic up front and ceramic in the rear. If you have a lot of long hills your area, we suggest reaching for the Metallic compound. If you braking is quick or you’re in a relatively flat area, we suggest the Ceramic.
