About the product
Brake shoes in bikes are key components of the braking system, specifically in rim brakes or drum brakes, used to slow down or stop the bicycle. They make direct contact with either the wheel’s rim or the braking drum, depending on the type of brake. Here’s how they work in different systems:
1. Rim Brakes (Most Common)
- Brake Shoes/Pads: In rim brakes, brake shoes (often called brake pads) are rubber or composite blocks that press against the rim of the wheel to create friction and slow down the bike.
- Types:
- Caliper Brakes: Found on road bikes.
- V-Brakes (Linear-Pull): Common on mountain bikes and hybrids.
- Cantilever Brakes: Found on some cyclocross and touring bikes.
- Material: Brake pads are usually made of rubber compounds designed to maximize grip on the metal rim, but other materials like cork or leather may be used for different conditions.
2. Drum Brakes (Less Common)
- Brake Shoes: In drum brakes, the brake shoes are inside the wheel hub, where they press outward against the brake drum to create friction and stop the wheel.
- Used in: Older or specialty bicycles, heavy-duty applications like cargo bikes, or city bikes designed for long-lasting braking with less maintenance.
Maintenance and Replacement
- Rim Brake Pads: They wear out over time and need regular checking and replacement. Grooves or wear indicators on the pads show when they should be replaced.
- Drum Brake Shoes: Typically last longer than rim brake pads but also require occasional maintenance and adjustment.
In modern bikes, rim brake pads are more commonly used, while drum brake systems are rarer.
