Brake Pads Brake pads are crucial for your bike’s stopping power. Whether you’re replacing pads on a road bike, mountain bike, or hybrid, choose the right type for your braking system—disc brakes or rim brakes. Look for materials that suit your riding conditions: organic pads offer better modulation and are quieter, while metallic pads are more durable and handle heat well. Always ensure compatibility with your braking system and check for wear regularly. Shop our selection at Planet Cyclery for high-performance brake pads.
