Brake pads must always be replaced as
a wheel set. At the front, where two
calipers are fitted on the same wheel,
replace all the brake pads in both
calipers.
Replacing individual pads will reduce
braking efficiency and may cause an
accident.
After replacement brake pads have
been fitted, ride with extreme caution
until the new pads have 'broken in'.
New brake discs and pads require a
period of careful breaking‑in that will
optimise the performance and longevity
