Brake Pad FISCHER 85190 for Side-Pull (Side-Pull) Brakes — Compatible with Aluminum and Steel Rims, Single Piece

FISCHER 85190 single-piece brake pad for side-pull caliper (side-pull) rim brakes. Designed as a screw-fit replacement pad, it provides the friction surface needed for effective rim braking on both aluminium and steel rims. This pad is shaped and sized for common city, commuter and trekking bicycles that use side-pull caliper brake systems and is supplied as one replacement unit.

Advantages

The brake pad offers a straightforward screw-fit installation and a durable compound formulated for rim contact on aluminium and steel. Its single-piece construction ensures consistent wear and predictable braking performance. Compatibility with side-pull caliper brakes makes it a practical spare part for routine maintenance and quick on-bike replacement without specialised tools.

Suitable for

• City and commuter bicycles with side-pull caliper rim brakes
• Trekking and hybrid bikes that use rim braking on aluminium or steel rims
• Routine replacement of worn brake pads during maintenance
• Owners seeking a single, screw-fit pad for on-the-road repairs

When it may not be suitable

This brake pad is intended for side-pull caliper rim brakes and is not suitable for disc brake systems, V-brakes, cantilever brakes or integrated cartridge systems that require different mounting methods. It may not fit some uncommon or proprietary caliper designs; fit should be confirmed visually before purchase.

Key specifications

• Mounting: screw-fit single-piece pad designed for side-pull caliper brakes
• Compatible rim materials: aluminium and steel
• Unit: single replacement pad
• Application: rim braking systems on city, commuter and trekking bicycles

How to use

Loosen and remove the retaining screw or bolt on the existing pad assembly, slide out the worn pad and replace it with the new FISCHER pad aligning the pad surface with the rim braking track. Set pad toe-in and lateral position to avoid rubbing on the tyre or rim edge, then tighten the screw to the recommended snugness while checking alignment by spinning the wheel. After installation, perform a short brake test at low speed to bed in the new pad and verify consistent braking response.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your bicycle uses side-pull caliper rim brakes, not disc or V-brake systems
• Check physical fit and mounting screw type on your caliper to ensure compatibility
• Verify rim material (aluminium or steel) to match the pad’s intended contact surface

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect pad wear and rim surface; replace the pad when braking compound is worn down to the indicator line or when braking performance decreases. Keep braking surfaces clean and free of oil or debris. For safe operation, bed in new pads using progressive braking from low speed and re-check pad alignment after a short ride.
