It isn't easy to spot contaminated brake pads with the naked eye. If your brakes squeal or squeak or your rotor appears to be a darker color with oil smears, it's a sign that your brake pads may be contaminated. Level ebikes can arrive with either a Bengal or Zoom brake caliper. Confirm the brand of the brake caliper on your Level to locate the correct set of brake pads. Semi-Metallic: Semi-metallic brake pads are suitable for any riding condition. They are less noisy than metallic brake pads and noisier than organic ones. They fall right in between the two.

Magnetic: Insert the brake pads, typically inner first and then outer, and the magnet will hold the pads in place against the pistons. If there is a retaining pin and/or clip, reinstall it.

However the actual brake pads are about the same cost. Search online for a pad that looks identical in shape to your old pad, then confirm with the manufacturer.Note: A bicycle repair stand would be helpful, but it's not necessary. You can also flip your ebike upside down so the wheels are upright and free to work with. If working with your ebike flipped upside down, be wary of your ebike display, handlebar controls, and any additional accessories placed on your handlebar; Adjust them accordingly or temporarily remove them to avoid any damage while in the upside down position. The Shimano B01S is one of the most common brake pads used in the industry. Almost every bicycle repair shop will have B01S. This pad is used on at least 45 different brake systems spanning across many different brands. It is used on hydraulic and mechanical disc brakes.

There are two fundamental ways to move the brake pads. Mechanical disc brakes use a cable wire to push one pad toward the rotor. This cable wire can stretch resulting in inconsistent performance. Hydraulic disc brakes use a non-compressible fluid to push both pads towards the rotor the result is improved braking power and modulation. Braking performance is critical for the faster class 3 e-bikes. Non-Magnetic Brake Pistons: Brake pads with a break down the center, also called a slot, will work for magnetic brake pistons. Installing your new brake pads is essentially the removal process in reverse. Do not be concerned if your correctly and newly installed pads have some wiggle. Spring:If there is a spring in your pad system, it will need to be removed along with the pads (new pads will also come with a new spring!). The ceramic compound offers powerful yet quiet vibration damping braking performance also resulting in better feel on lever response and a longer lifespan than Organic or Semi-Metallic compound. The ceramic compound is very stable under a wide range of temperatures for consistent performance, excellent brake thermal recovery and smooth, progressive and controlled braking with exceptional lever response. Ceramic pads are longer lasting compared to Semi-Metallic or Organic pads and extremely rotor friendly with minimum impact on rotor wear which will massively increase rotor lifetime compared to use with Sintered pads.

Nukeproof Shimano XTR-XT Disc Brake Pads

Magnetic Brake Pistons: Brake pads with a break down the center, also called a slot, and brake pads without the slot will work for magnetic brake pistons. Replacement Tektro disc brake pads. Compatible with all Tektro disc callipers and some TRP disc callipers.
