Absolute Black GRAPHENpads brake pads Shimano Road

Description

GRAPHENpads from Absolute Black are a breakthrough in the realm of brake pads. The new era of confidence and consistent stopping power is here. These pads set an entirely new standard in brake pad technology thanks to a revolutionary friction compound that uses specially modified graphene instead of toxic copper.

The Graphen compound brake pads are suitable for all weather conditions.

A key factor for optimal brake pad performance is maintaining a lower temperature, ideally below 400°C. The hotter the pads get, the quicker they fade, meaning they lose the ability to reliably slow down when needed.

The ideal brake pads must have predictable and consistent performance both at initial bite and during prolonged braking. After three years of developing the GRAPHENpads, Absolute Black is confident they have created such pads.

The first pads on the market featuring specially modified graphene in their friction compound, significantly improving braking performance, durability, and heat transfer to the back plate.

They are also the first pads that do not use copper, which is extremely toxic to aquatic and other organisms. The ban on using copper in pads is expected within several years.

GRAPHENpads from Absolute Black are manufactured in the EU, offering better modulation, greater confidence, and faster stopping in all situations. They are very quiet, even on long descents. Not to mention, their efficiency also reduces hand fatigue thanks to significantly less force needed on brake levers.

Installing new pads: Follow the correct procedure for installing brake pads. Neglecting this step will lead to suboptimal experiences.

1. Remove the wheel and old brake pads.

2. Use a brake cleaner to clean the inside of the caliper and rotor surface (alternatively use isopropyl alcohol).

3. Clean the brake disc and rotor surface. Gently push each piston back into the caliper body (e.g., using a large screwdriver). Then mount the new pads and spring.

4. The most crucial part - While riding at a speed of approximately 20 km/h in a safe environment, brake evenly until the speed reduces to walking pace. Repeat 20 times. Then, stop aggressively 10 times.
