A Lil Help Needed About Brake Pads

Recommended Posts

hi to one and all

about 2months ago i bought some zoo magura pads from select bikes and they've bloody amazed me but......... on a ride yesterday one ripped clean in half out of the backing!

all i need to know is can i get them replaced by zoo or someone because i'm kind of skint at the moment so cant even afford bloody brake pads!

( just a little note even though i'm using one and a half of a pad it still works so amazingly its stupid! but i don't trust it to come out of the backing now)

thanks for any advice that can be given

Glue it back in, either with Superglue, or araldite.

Sorted really.

the problem is the brake carried on working well so i didn't notice for ages that it had happened!

thanks tart ill email him in a while (didn't understand the second bit i'm a little slow on these things hehe

thanks guys

i didn't have a grind or anything it was on a smooth rim! hehe i'm not a heavy rider and wasn't doing anything big either

i cant glue them back because i lost half the pad somewhere but because the brake still worked nicely i didn't notice till later :blink:

i don't trust using just half a pad because theres alot of stress put on and its likely to rip out of the backing

thanks again

Why can't you glue them back in?

I think hes lost half of a pad, and half of it is still there, so he cant glue it in due to him not having it, I think thats what he means :blink:

Sounds like an overspill of release agent, causing a split line in the pad itself.

Yup...

I doubt it after 2 months, its only a pad im sure its not too much trouble to buy some more, mine went after one ride,

I'd suggest getting in touch with Phil, see what he says.
