Kit contents 2 pairs V-brake pads (4 pads total) 4 hex nuts (1 per pad) and 20 spacers (5 per pad) 2 brake noodles (cable guide tubes) 2 rubber sleeves (brake dust cuffs) Why this kit matters Reliable stopping in wet conditions: the V-brake pads use waterproof twill tanks to help maintain braking performance in adverse weather. Complete hardware included: each pad arrives ready to install with a hex nut and five spacers, plus cable noodles and rubber dust cuffs for tidy routing and protection. Durable materials for consistent performance: pads combine rubber and metal; noodles are silver aluminium alloy; dust cuffs are black rubber for long-lasting use. Key features and benefits Improved wet-weather braking — waterproof twill construction reduces loss of braking bite when riding in rain or on wet roads. Robust, long-life construction — brake pad and noodle materials are chosen for wear resistance and reliable brake response. Better cable management — aluminium brake noodles guide the cable smoothly and protect it from water and dirt, reducing maintenance. Dust and cuff protection — rubber sleeves keep contaminants away from the brake noodle entry point and help preserve cable life. Easy to fit — pads are marked L and R for left/right so you can install quickly and correctly. High durability for the brake handle surface — nitrile rubber design rated for approximately 8,000–10,000 cycles. Compatibility and usage Designed for V-brake style bicycle brake systems. Each pad is labeled R or L; confirm orientation before tightening. Practical applications Commuting in mixed weather: replace worn pads to restore safe braking performance for daily rides in rain and damp conditions. Off-road or gravel riding: durable pads and aluminium noodles handle dirt and frequent braking on varied terrain. Touring and long-distance rides: included spacers, nuts, and protective sleeves make field replacement straightforward, minimizing downtime. Installation notes Identify R and L markings on each pad before mounting. Use the provided hex nuts and spacers to set pad toe-in and alignment to your brake arms. Slide the rubber sleeve over the noodle where it meets the brake arm to seal out dirt and moisture. Materials and durability summary Pad face: durable rubber bonded to metal backing Waterproof feature: twill tanks on the pad face to help preserve stopping power in bad weather Noodle: silver aluminium alloy for strength and corrosion resistance Dust cuffs: black rubber for protection Brake handle surface material: nitrile rubber, rated for about 8,000–10,000 uses What’s included is ready to install and replaces worn V-brake components to restore safe, predictable braking across everyday and adverse conditions.
