Resin or Metallic Pads: Braking According to Your Practice
Disc brake pads come in two types. Resin pads, also known as organic, like the Shimano B05S and K05S or the Elvedes for Magura MT brakes, bite gently and quietly, but wear out faster in the rain and heat up on long descents. Metallic pads, sintered, last longer and handle heat better, but do produce a bit of noise. The Shimano N03A with fins features an aluminium radiator that dissipates heat, useful in the mountains or on a loaded bike. Always check compatibility with your caliper: each brake has its own pad shape.

Center Lock Discs, Brake Pads and Drum Brakes
The Center Lock disc, like the Shimano SM-RT64, is fixed to the hub by splines and secured with a notched ring, whereas the traditional mounting uses six screws. It installs faster but requires the right tool. On bikes fitted with rim brakes, the pads Shimano R55C4, designed for the brand's high-end calipers, need replacing when their grooves disappear. City bikes often benefit from the drum brake Shimano Nexus, enclosed in the rear hub and unaffected by rain, paired with the Nexus hub featuring eight integrated gears, shielding the gear change from mud and shocks.
Reading a Tyre Size and Choosing the Right Compound
A tyre can be read by its ETRTO size, two numbers separated by a dash: width in millimetres, followed by the rim bead diameter. Six hundred and twenty-two refers to 700c wheels, typical for road bikes, touring, and 29-inch mountain bikes. The Continental Ride Tour, equipped with puncture protection, suits city and touring bikes in various widths, including a version with reflective sides for smaller wheels. The Schwalbe Billy Bonkers, with knobs, is designed for dirt, while the Maxxis Hookworm, wide and smooth, is for street use. The puncture prevention fluid Pirelli Scorpion, injected into a tubeless tyre, seals small punctures on its own.
Cleats, Saddles and Torque Wrench
Cleats are fixed beneath automatic shoes. The Shimano SM-SH12, an SPD-SL road cleat with three screws, allows slight lateral foot movement; the SM-SH51, an SPD MTB cleat with two screws, slots into the sole for normal walking. For comfort, the saddle Chromag Semenuk, designed by Canadian rider Brandon Semenuk, is shaped for aggressive mountain biking, while the Onemile Nomad suits everyday riding. The child front saddle Shotgun Pro attaches to an adult MTB frame to carry a young child on trails. The torque wrench Super B tightens each screw to the specified torque, which is essential for carbon components.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should you change your disc brake pads?
Change them as soon as the friction material measures about half a millimetre, or if the braking becomes noisy and loses grip. A pad that's too worn will rub against the disc with its metal backing, damaging it quickly.
How do you know what size tyre to buy for your bike?
Check the markings on the sidewall of the current tyre: the ETRTO size or the size in inches will be there. Stick to the same diameter and ensure that the chosen width fits in the frame and fork, including fenders.
What should you use to degrease a bike's drivetrain?
A specific degreaser, applied with a brush or scrubber on the chain, cassette, and chainrings, dissolves the darkened grease. Rinse with water, dry, then lubricate the chain link by link and wipe off the excess.
How long does tubeless puncture prevention fluid last?
Depending on the heat and the product, the fluid can dry out in a few months within the tyre. Shake the wheel and listen: if you no longer hear anything sloshing inside, it's time to add more to maintain protection against punctures.
How do you adjust your automatic pedal cleats?
Position the cleat so that the pedal axle is beneath the joint of your big toe, then angle it according to your foot's natural resting position. Tighten moderately, ride a few kilometres, and adjust before final tightening.
