Complete Your Repair
Restore dependable stopping performance on compatible Avid BB5 mechanical disc brakes with this two-pair set of sintered metallic brake pads. The metal compound is designed for long wear, high-temperature resistance and reliable braking in wet, muddy and gritty conditions.
Key Features
- Package: Two pairs—enough for two compatible BB5 calipers
- Compatibility: Avid BB5 mechanical disc-brake calipers
- Compound: Sintered metallic
- Best for: E-bikes, mountain bikes, heavier bicycles, long descents and wet-weather riding

Confirm that your caliper is marked Avid BB5 and compare the removed pad’s outline and retention features with the product images. These pads are not intended for every Avid brake model; do not order by bicycle brand alone.
Sintered vs. Resin Pads
Sintered pads generally provide better heat resistance, longer wear and more consistent wet-weather performance than resin pads. They may produce slightly more noise, particularly before bedding-in is complete.
Installation Tips
- Keep oil and grease away from the friction material and rotor.
- Clean and inspect the rotor before installing new pads.
- Adjust and center the BB5 caliper after installation.
- Bed in the pads with repeated controlled stops before hard riding.
- Use a qualified bicycle technician if you are unfamiliar with brake service.
