Clarks CPS240 Road Bike Brake Pads — Shimano and Campagnolo Compatible, 55 mm, White Housing, Black-Red-Gray, Includes 2 Extra Inserts

Clarks CPS240 brake pads are replacement pads designed for road bike caliper brakes compatible with Shimano and Campagnolo systems. Each pad measures 55 mm and comes with a white housing and black-red-gray friction material. The compound is formulated to perform in both dry and wet conditions, and the set includes two extra pad inserts to extend service intervals. These pads are intended for direct fit onto compatible calipers and offer a balanced combination of braking performance and predictable modulation for everyday road riding.

Advantages

The CPS240 pads provide consistent braking force across varied weather thanks to a compound tuned for dry and wet use. A 55 mm pad length ensures sufficient contact area for effective stopping on standard road calipers. The white housing offers a neutral visual match to many road bike frames and calipers while the included spare inserts reduce the need for immediate replacement purchases. Installation is straightforward on compatible Shimano and Campagnolo calipers, allowing quick service by home mechanics or shop technicians.

How to use

Remove the wheel and loosen the caliper retaining bolt according to your brake manufacturer's instructions, then extract the worn pads and clean the pad holders and rim braking surface. Insert the Clarks CPS240 pads into the caliper carrier ensuring correct orientation of the friction material and housing. Secure the pads with the original retaining pin or bolt, re-center the caliper if necessary, and perform a few test squeezes to bed the pads into the rim. After installation, check braking performance and make minor adjustments to pad position or cable tension as required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect pads regularly for wear and contamination; replace inserts when the friction material reaches the manufacturer’s wear indicators or shows uneven wear. Clean rims and pad surfaces periodically to maintain consistent braking; avoid using pads designed for rims on disc brakes.
