Top Features of the Lightweight Brake Pads
The new Lightweight brake pads are specially formulated for improved brake performance in combination with carbon fibre rims. They offer drastically improved modulation.
- The new Lightweight pads are available for both Shimano and Campagnolo pad holders
- Road
The pads are supplied by the specialists at SWISSSTOP. They are the result of extensive tests in the lab and on the road. Contrary to ordinary pads for carbon rims, our pads do not consist of cork, but of high-performance rubber. This completely new material easily surpassed the results of ordinary cork pads in all tests. Greatest advantages were found with regard to brake modulation, wear, and performance in wet conditions.
During the development process our focus had been:
maximum brake power (wet and dry)
perfect modulation
no brake squeal
least possible wear
good performance on aluminium brake tracks as well
The latter enables the rider to switch between different wheelsets without having to swap brake pads, as well. While the Lightweight brake pads have been developed with carbon rims in mind and will develop their full brake power only in conjunction with carbon rims, they by far exceed regular cork pads on aluminium rims. Modulation has been greatly improved over cork pads. Many riders have had to become used to the "all-or-nothing" feel of such brake pads. Not so with the new Lightweight rubber-compound!
About Rim Brake Pads
Wiggle stocks a large range of brake blocks for road calliper brakes, v-brakes and cantilever brakes. Brake blocks are available in various fitments and compounds to suit your needs, softer pads will wear quickly but are ideal for wet weather use, whereas hard compound pads will last but not offer great wet weather performance. Most brake blocks will be a medium compound unless otherwise stated, making them ideal for all round use.
About the Lightweight brand
Lightweight are the makers of premium lightweight spoked, disc, fixed and track bicycle wheels. The history of Lightweight Wheels is tightly connected with the world’s best and most successful pro cyclists, they were the individuals who gave Lightweight a name in the bike industry, by actually purchasing these revolutionary wheels and then using them in World Cup events and the major tours in place of the wheels they were paid to ride. Lightweight wheels are produced by Carbon Sports who specialize in high-end sports equipment. Their goal is to develop and produce the best products to help every athlete realize their potential. Carbon fiber opens the way for new shapes and properties and only the use of new materials can make these significant advances possible. Carbon fiber is vastly superior to other materials when the goal is to combine low weight and high efficiency. The future in sports equipment belongs to carbon fiber. Realizing the enormous potential of composite materials requires advanced technological know-how, experience and the greatest attention to detail during the production process, which are prerequisites for Lightweights quality products. Lightweight is proud to have Certifications from Fairchild-Dornier and Dasa-Zert, who are the quality certification body of Daimler-Chrysler Aerospace, this testifies the superior quality of their composite materials. A second certificate for the highest quality standards was issued by Fairchild-Dornier. Both certify that Lightweights production standards meet the level required in the aerospace industry, by far exceeding the standards currently found in the bicycle business.
