AvidSRAM eTap AXS/Level Disc Brake Pads(Return to Product Page)

I have little experience with disc brakes, just this bike, these pads. However, I am very pleased with them, with a couple of exceptions, more about disc in general than these pads. 1) not as easy to check wear as on rim brakes (wheel off & a caliper vs just eyeballing); 2) replacement pads much more expensive than rim pads, and wear much faster, at around 1200 miles vs 3000+ for rim brakes.

That said, they're great. Good stopping in all conditions. Easy to change pads. Don't forget to bed them in first.

Great pads, easy to install, & work well!

Quality replacement brake pads. I definitely recommend buying from Bike Tires Direct to be assured that you are getting genuine manufacture parts. The installation is very simple. Keep a spare set so that you don't get stranded.

They work great - very quiet.

If you are buying these pads, you may, like me, have essentially no choice, as they seem to be the only pads that fit my SRAM road brakes. I also can only speak as a newish user of disc brakes. That said, I am completely delighted with the braking these afford - smooth, quiet, nicely modulated braking every time, in wet or dry. My only gripes, which may be just an issue with disc brakes in general - I do not know- is that they wear pretty fast , are quite expensive, and take some fiddling to assess for wear. I find that in dry conditions, they are shot after 1600 miles, and if I'm riding in the wet, the extra road grit wears them out in as little as 1000 miles. At $xx a pop, that is vastly more than the $xx for a 4000 miles set of rim pads. Plus, unlike rim pads which you can pretty much just glace down and assess, these require you to remove the wheel and pop the pads. Not the end of the world, but still a bother.

However, in spite of the minuses, I am not going back to rim brakes. The power, modulation, and reliability in all conditions makes this a clearly superior product, one worth the cost. They are also offered in a longer wearing version, but I'm sticking with 'quiet' for the pleasure of it.

Great replacement pads for SRAM AXS road brakes. I bought a set for my Red group, easy to install and they bed in fairly quick and offer very good stopping power

Quality SRAM part. Arrived quickly. Works great.

These were quiet and smooth from the first ride, no break-in required.

These brake pads do the trick! The bike stops. No squeaking, no fade, just stopping power.

Cant beat OEM pads

First pads purchased for my Rival axis hydrolic brakes. Perfect fit.

BTD is one of a very few retailers that provided proper specs for rival axs. Even with sram you have to do a bit of digging to find the sku

Always amazing service

Anyway, they work. Currently set up on a gravel bike that sees almost all dry sandy conditions, with no concerns

Worked as advertised.

Super easy drop-in replacement for OE pads, which gave reliable performance for several seasons. Super easy assuming you have a piston tool such as the Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic Piston Press, which I do. Pads are quiet and powerful in all conditions.

Those are larger pads and it seems that BTD does not stock them.

Was expecting more squeal but didn't experience it. Hopefully they will last longer than the organic pads.

They fit gravel bike brake calipers and work great. Good price as well.

Exactly as described. Super price and super fast shipping!

Remember that it's only for one caliper. Buy two.
