Brompton brake pad inserts from Fibrax

The old pad-insert is removed by using an allen key to loosen an allen bolt, then sliding out the brake pad.

The new brake pad is then slid into place and the allen bolt re-tightened.

Replacing just the pad (rather than the pad and holder) saves on having to buy a complete pad and holder set (saving money and the earth)

Fitting / installation instructions are included on the back of the pack.

Tools required: 1mm Allen Key

Brompton part number: QBRPADINSERT

Made in Wrexham in the UK.
