Brake Pads Clarks replacement for AVID Elixir DB model CLA-VRX841C-FIN-RE, metal-backed disc brake pads

Clarks replacement brake pads designed for AVID Elixir DB model calipers provide a direct-fit option for restoring braking performance on compatible hydraulic disc brake systems. These metal-backed disc brake pads are engineered for use in bicycle maintenance, offering a stable backing plate and friction material intended to deliver consistent stopping power across varied riding conditions.

Advantages

The metal-backed construction improves heat dissipation and pad stability under repeated braking, while the friction compound is formulated to balance initial bite and controlled modulation. These pads are compatible with Elixir DB series calipers, simplifying replacement and reducing the need for adapter or fitment changes. Their design helps maintain pad alignment and reduces the likelihood of glazing or uneven wear when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• Routine brake pad replacement on hydraulic disc brake bicycles using AVID Elixir DB calipers
• Road and mixed-surface riding where reliable modulation and consistent stopping are required
• Bike maintenance workshops and home mechanics performing pad swaps

Key specifications

• Pad backing: metal-backed plate for improved rigidity and heat transfer
• Application: hydraulic disc brake calipers compatible with Elixir DB series
• Friction material: engineered compound for balanced bite and modulation
• Mounting style: direct-fit replacement pads for specific caliper geometry
• Intended use: bicycle braking on road, trail, and mixed-surface conditions

How to use

Remove the wheel and access the brake caliper following the bicycle manufacturer’s instructions. Extract the retaining pin or clip, remove the worn pads, and inspect the caliper and rotor for contamination or damage. Fit the Clarks metal-backed pads into the caliper in the correct orientation, reinstall the retaining hardware, and reassemble the wheel. After installation, pump the brake lever to set pad position and check for proper pad-to-rotor clearance and braking function before riding.

Usage recommendations

To achieve consistent performance, bed in new pads using several controlled stops from moderate speed, avoid oil or lubricant contact with the pads and rotor, and inspect pads regularly for thickness and contamination. Replace pads when wear indicators or minimum thickness are reached, and consult professional service if braking performance is compromised.
