SRAM G2 Guide/Trail Disc Brake Pads
Blended compound brakes for superior stopping power.
SRAM G2 Brake Pads are exactly what your calipers have been asking for. Designed with different materials for the perfect ride and stopping power under speeds. Reduced grams make for an easier ride uphill.
Available in sintered, organic/steel, and organic/aluminum. See below for compound comparisons.
Kit Components:
Each pad kit includes two brake pads, a pad spreader spring, pad pin and clip. Product comes with brake pads per one caliper so you will need to get two kits.
Proper Care Instructions:
Once a compound is used with a rotor, only that compound should be paired with that compound in the future.
Brake pads must be replaced if the total thickness of the backing plate and pad friction material is less than 3 mm. The rotor must be replaced if the total thickness is less than 1.55 mm, or when changing pad friction material.

Bike Brake Pad Replacement Instructions
Brake Pad Thickness Check
- To determine if you need to replace your brake pads, first check their thickness. If they measure less than 3mm, it's time to replace them.
- Perform this step monthly to prevent damage to rotor.
Piston Reset
- Remove wheels from bike, and use a pad spacer to push pistons back into the caliper.
- This resets the pistons to provide space for the new, thicker pads.
Brake Caliper Inspection
- Remove circlip with needle nose pliers and the pin with a 2.5mm hex wrench.
- Remove pads from caliper.
- Clean caliper using isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free towel.
New Bike Pad Replacement
- Make super the pad spreader spring is properly installed.
- Install pads into caliper. Install pin through caliper, pads, and spreader. Install circlip. Install pad spacer to ensure pistons are still pushed into caliper.
- Pull brake lever until contact point feels firm, and reinstall wheel.

These are expensive but perform much better than some of the lower priced alternatives I have tried. I am using them on a heavy, fat tire ebike which eats through pads more quickly than a typical analog bike.

Pastiglie arrivate nei tempi giusti e per i miei percorsi in cui faccio dislivelli importanti sono molto più performanti delle organiche.

Was mir an diesen Bremsbelägen besonders gefällt, ist ihre gute Bremsleistung. Sie bieten eine kraftvolle Bremsung und gute Dosierbarkeit, auch bei nassem und schlammigem Untergrund. Das Material der Beläge bietet eine lange Lebensdauer und hält auch längeren Downhill Abfahrten stand. Jedoch in der Nässe quietschen Sie ordentlich..Großartige Wahl für jeden Mountainbiker oder Downhiller, der höchste Ansprüche an seine Bremsbeläge hat!

Hate sram brakes but learned to live with them. They have been reliable (in their sponginess), I’ll give that. These are the best and only pads for RS. Mind you, guide and code have different pads.

Wow, the sintered pads are much much much better than the stock organic ones that came with my 2017 Bronson C S-Build (Guide RS Brakes). I have been riding a lot downhill parks and I noticed I was wearing through my stock organic pads quickly/ glazing them over getting brake fade. These solved that problem! I read a lot of reviews where people say metallic (sintered) pads are really good at "on/off" with the brakes, but that is NOT true. I think people say that because they are use to applying the pressure they use on the brake lever with organic pads to their new metallic pads and if locks up the brakes. Metallic pads have amazing grip on the rotors, so you can apply less pressure with your finger and modulate the brakes. I have also hear that metallic pads are "louder", which is caused by water on the pads, or uneven brake wear if your rotor is not centered. So if you fix that, then your silent again. I don't see any reason to get organic over metallic. Get these you'll love them.Also, you need to wear them in, so your rotors get embedded or your brakes wont work. Do this for about 10 minutes and you'll be all set.

Recently upgraded to Guide RSC brakes and they have completely changed my bike and how I can ride technical black diamond trails in Los Angeles.I have used both resin and sintered pads. Resin pads will always have more bite and will be more quiet. The SRAM resin pads are top notch and last much longer than shimano. Shimano resin pads would only last me 3 weeks. The resin pads lasted 6 weeks.The sintered brakes are amazing! Make sure you get the centerline rotors because they're designed for the guide brakes. The sintered pads make a little noise when they're hot. But they offer less bite which I like, and will definitely last longer. The sintered brakes will last months compared to the weeks for resin. I highly recommend the sintered if you want them to last longer.Guides are the shiz!!!! If you have upgraditis like me, guides are a great investment into your riding!

Original equipment pads. If you liked your original pads, you'll like these. I prefer sintered as they are fade free other than on longer downhill runs that require a lot of braking. Although they squeal when both wet and cold, such as on a cold, damp morning ride, they quickly become quiet as the brakes are used and the components dry.
