Caring for Swiss Stop Pads

Swiss Stop brake pads are different than standard brake pads. Their complex compound requires slightly different servicing and installation to ensure top performance.

Normal black rubber pads require filing regularly to expose fresh and clean compound. We do not recommend regular filing of Swiss Stop brake pads because Swiss Stop brake pads do not collect aluminum. All that is required to clean the pads is a good wipe with a damp rag. If you feel like they are extremely dirty and a rag is not enough try using sand paper.

Many riders may also benefit from removing the toe-in that is often required with black rubber pads. If you previously had rubber pads installed at a bike shop, then you likely have toe-in. Swiss Stop pads operate very quietly. Toe-in only reduces braking performance by stressing the leading edge of the pad. Best performance is experienced when the braking force is evenly distributed along the entire length of the brake pad.

Swiss Stop's yellow colored brake pads are designed specifically for carbon rims with light weight components. Predictable braking is just one of the many benefits of Swiss Stop brake pads. These pads are different than standard brake pads and have an optimum compound containing a variety of materials that produce outstanding braking performance with minimal effort with the brake lever.

Swiss Stop is proud to be the "unofficial" choice of many professional cyclists. Many Pro Riders have switched out their stock brake pads for Swiss Stop over the past several years. With state of the art materials and 70 years in the industry are the foundation of the Swiss Stop products.

Compound (Enclosure) $58.94 Compound when applied to a human habitat refers to a cluster of buildings in an enclosure, having a shared or associated purpose, such as the houses of an extended family (e.g. the Kennedy Compound for the Kennedy family). The enclosure may be a wall, a fence, a hedge or some other structure, or it may be formed by the buildings themselves, when they are built around an open area or joined together. In the United Kingdom, compound is not generally used in the sense of an unfortified enclosure, and not for homes. There, as in North American English, if used for a place, it is most likely to be taken to mean a fortified military compound.

Unsaturated Compound $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In organic chemistry, an unsaturated compound is a chemical compound that contains carboncarbon double bonds or triple bonds such as in alkenes or alkynes. In a saturated compound these double bonds are removed by the addition of hydrogen and no multiple bonds are present. Alkanes are an example of saturated compounds. It is in this sense that fatty acids are classified as saturated or unsaturated, according to their iodine number.In a chain of carbons, such as a fatty acid, a double or triple bond will cause a kink in the chain. These kinks have macrostructural implications. Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature, rather than solid, due to the kinks in the chain. The kinks prevent the molecules from packing closely together, forming a liquid. These fats are called oils and are present in fish and plants.
