How to Choose

Brake pads are one of the most overlooked wear items on bicycles and e-bikes. The right pad compound can mean quieter braking, longer service intervals, and better control—especially on heavier e-bikes or in hilly Pennsylvania terrain. At Go Grava, we don’t treat brake pads as “one size fits all.” Rider weight, bike weight, terrain, and riding style all matter. This collection brings together brake pads we actually install in the shop, with clear guidance on when each type makes sense.

-Designed for disc brake systems on bikes and e-bikes
-Multiple compounds: organic, semi-metallic, and sintered
-Options for standard bicycles, heavy e-bikes, and cargo bikes
-Chosen for heat management, longevity, and consistent braking feel
-Compatible with common brake brands and calipers (verify fit before ordering)

    Brake pad selection is one of the most common questions we get in the shop—and for good reason. Pennsylvania riding means rolling hills, frequent braking, wet roads, and heavier e-bikes that generate more heat at the rotor.
    If you’re unsure which brake pad fits your bike or your riding style, stop into Go Grava in Wyomissing. We’ll help you identify the correct pad shape, compound, and setup so you don’t waste money—or compromise braking performance.
