2 Pairs Semi-Metallic Disc Brake Pads for Tektro Novela IOX.11 Disc Brakes

Compatible with Tektro Novela and IOX calipers : The replacement tektro novela and IOX semi-metallic disc brake pads make sure you have reliable braking and efficient stopping power when riding. The replacement pads follow an semi- metallic formula, so that you can enjoy them for a very long time, while trekking, riding cross-country or just out on a leisure ride. Pros -Quieter -Shorter break-in period -More initial bite -Prevent heat buildup -Pushes heat back into the rotor Cons -Wear quicker -Not as good in wet/muddy conditions These semi-metallic pads are for lighter weight riders, and riding where lots of brakes are not required, like cross country, and riding in flatter areas. One thing I really love about the organic pads, is that they have a large amount of initial grab, this is a personal preference and you may not like this. When running these pads with smaller rotors, they will "manage" the heat better, meaning your oil is less likely to boil, which would cause a loss of power. Another great thing about resin pads is that they are much quieter, I know I hate brake squeal, and I'm sure you do too. One big disadvantage of these pads is that they wear out quicker, which means more replacing, and potentially more brake bleeds. Also don't run these pads when it is muddy, wet, or even very dusty conditions. It is suggested that if you are running these pads, you occasionally sand the surface, to remove the glaze.
