Dura-Type Road Cartridge Inserts Carbon Compound pr

These road cartridge inserts are the top pick for aftermarket bike upgrades. They feature grooves designed for efficient water displacement and are a perfect fit for 55mm length holders. There are different types to suit various needs. The Dura type has the exact specification as Shimano pads with Kool Stops' patented plow tip and is thinner than Dura 2 pads. The Dura 2 type is thicker, offering a longer lifespan, with 7.65mm contact suitable for narrower rims and cut - outs to reduce weight. The Carbon 1 is the original carbon compound that works well for most carbon wheels but may wear faster on fast, steep descents. The Carbon 2 has an updated formula for carbon rims, better able to withstand steep descents with less wear. The current model is Dura with carbon #1 compound.

Using these road cartridge inserts is easy. Just install them into your 55mm length holders. When riding, they'll provide great braking performance. However, if you choose the Carbon 1 type and plan to do a lot of fast, steep descents, be aware that they may wear out quicker. For the best results, regularly check the pads for wear. If they look too thin, it's time to replace them. Clean the pads and the rims from time to time to keep the braking smooth. This will help extend the life of your inserts and ensure a safe ride.
