Noise from disc brake systems is a persistent issue that many cyclists face. It's often caused by a variety of factors and can be difficult to resolve. Ideally, the problem could be solved simply by replacing the brake pads. However, in practice, it usually requires a thorough diagnosis followed by step-by-step adjustments. The brake pad compound plays a crucial role in this process.

 

At Elvedes, we understand the importance of a quiet and smooth ride, which is why we are proud to introduce our super soft compound for the most common disc brake pads. Specifically engineered to reduce noise and vibrations during braking. These brake pads are the perfect solution for cyclists seeking a quieter ride.

 

You can recognize our super soft compound by its grey backplate. Besides the super soft compound, Elvedes’ range of disc brake pads contain three more compounds for different types of use. Every compound is recognizable by its different colour backplate:

 

  • Grey = super soft compound
  • Blue = soft compound
  • Black = medium compound
  • Gold = hard compound

Check our Disc brake pad guide

In our latest Elvedes catalogue, we've included two guides to make it easier for you to find the right disc brake pads for your bike.

 

The first guide is a convenient table that allows you to search for brake pads by brand and model of the braking system.

 

The second guide features actual-size outlines of the disc brake pads, making it simple to match your old brake pad to the correct replacement. This way, you can easily identify which type of disc brake pad you need.

 

Both guides also indicate which compound is available for each type of brake pad.
