Brake pads - RT005 - with lug

Description

Pair of RT005 brake pads with locating tab for electric scooters with disc brakes. Three pad compounds to choose from, depending on how you ride.

Which compound should you choose?

• Resin: smooth, quiet braking, ideal for city riding. The most popular choice for everyday use.
• Ceramic: a good balance between lifespan and performance, with less brake dust.
• Sintered metal: strong bite and good heat resistance, for powerful scooters, descents and heavy use or riding in the rain.

Identifying the right reference

The RT005 is recognisable by its shape and its tab, the small lug that holds the pad in place in the caliper. Compare with your current pads before ordering: the shape must be identical. Sold as a pair (2 pads), enough for one caliper.

When to replace them?

Longer stopping distances, a lever that travels further than before or a metallic noise when braking are the classic signs of worn pads. After fitting, brake gently a few times to bed in the new pads before braking hard.

Fitting at our workshop

You can leave the replacement to our workshop in Etterbeek: we'll also check the condition of the disc and the caliper adjustment. Browse all our brake pads, our discs and the rest of our braking parts. For NUTT calipers, see also the ventilated RT002-V pads.
