SRAM Brake Pad Inserts for Carbon Rims (Pair)

SRAM Brake Pad Inserts for Carbon Rims (Pair) are specifically engineered to deliver consistent braking performance on carbon braking surfaces. Designed for use with SRAM rim brake systems, these replacement inserts are formulated to maximize stopping power while minimizing heat buildup and premature rim wear — critical factors when riding high-performance carbon wheelsets.

Carbon rims require a dedicated brake pad compound to ensure safe, predictable braking. Using standard alloy pads on carbon surfaces can reduce braking efficiency and damage the rim. These SRAM carbon-specific brake pad inserts are designed to provide smooth modulation, strong bite, and improved control in both dry and variable conditions. The compound is optimized to manage heat effectively during long descents, helping protect the structural integrity of carbon rims.

Designed for Carbon Rim Performance

The braking compound used in these SRAM brake pad inserts is engineered to balance stopping power with rim preservation. Carbon brake tracks behave differently than aluminum, especially under high-speed or sustained braking. These pads are tuned to deliver reliable deceleration without excessive abrasion, allowing riders to confidently manage steep descents and technical terrain.

Installation is straightforward for riders already using SRAM-compatible rim brake pad holders. Simply slide out the worn insert and replace it with the new carbon-specific pad. Regular inspection and replacement ensure consistent braking performance and extend the life of your carbon wheelset.
