Brake Pads Clarks CPS959 for MTB 72 mm, red‑black

Clarks CPS959 brake pads for MTB are 72 mm disc brake replacement pads in a red‑black color scheme. They are intended as direct-fit friction elements for compatible mountain bike calipers that accept 72 mm pads. These pads restore braking performance by providing a fresh friction surface, help limit rotor wear when correctly bedded-in, and are suitable for mixed trail and urban riding where consistent stopping power is required.

Advantages

These Clarks brake pads provide a predictable braking feel and even pad wear when installed and bedded correctly. The 72 mm pad length gives broad contact area with the rotor, contributing to stable modulation and heat distribution. The red‑black compound and backing offer visual identification for quick maintenance checks, and the pads are supplied as a direct replacement to simplify installation without the need for modification.

Suitable for

• Replacement of worn disc brake pads on mountain bikes with calipers that use 72 mm pads
• Trail and cross‑country riding where reliable stopping and modulation are needed
• Urban commuting and mixed‑surface cycling requiring consistent brake response

Key specifications

• Pad type: disc brake replacement pads for mechanical or hydraulic calipers that accept 72 mm pads
• Pad length: 72 mm
• Color: red and black
• Material: friction compound designed for bicycle disc braking systems
• Compatibility: fits calipers designed for 72 mm pad length

How to use

Remove the wheel and old brake pads following the bicycle manufacturer's service instructions. Inspect the caliper and rotor for contamination and damage, clean rotor surfaces with isopropyl alcohol if needed, and fit the Clarks CPS959 pads into the caliper ensuring correct orientation and secure retention with the retaining pin or spring. Reinstall the wheel, check pad clearance and lever feel, and perform a careful bed‑in procedure by making several controlled decelerations from moderate speed to transfer a thin layer of friction material to the rotor.

Usage recommendations

Inspect pads regularly for thickness and contamination; replace when wear limits are reached or braking is reduced. Avoid oil or grease contact with the pad or rotor. After installation, perform bed‑in and test braking in a safe area before riding at speed or on technical terrain.
