What's in the box

1 pair of pads for one caliper. For front and rear, order 2.

Disc due as well?

New pads only brake properly on a disc in good condition. Measure the disc when you change the pads: if it is below the minimum thickness, warped or deeply scored, it's best to replace it together with the pads. Matching Galfer discs:

• Wave Fixed Road & Gravel: 6-bolt · Center Lock · Fulcrum AFS, for road and gravel bikes
• SHARK Road Center Lock: 140 mm · 160 mm, two-piece with aluminium carrier and Shark Fins

Compare all discs: Galfer brake discs.

Installation and replacement

• Always replace all pads in a brake caliper at the same time.
• Push the pistons straight back before inserting the pads, preferably with a plastic lever – never use a screwdriver directly on the piston.
• Keep the disc and pads free of grease; Galfer Brake Cleaner is suitable for cleaning.
• Follow your brake manufacturer's wear limits.
