Zipp Tangente Cork Brake Pads

Zipp Tangente Cork Brake Pad:
No one has studied all aspects of carbon fiber rims more closely than the engineers of Zipp Speed Weaponry who design and test the world's fastest wheels and components. In response to the intense heat and residue buildup caused by braking on carbon, Zipp has developed the Tangente High Performance Cork Brake Pad that outperforms all other carbon-specific pads in all conditions. CNC machined from a unique composite material, the Tangente pad combines the stopping performance and durability of a synthetic polymer with the heat resistance and smooth feel of cork. The end result? The Tangente operates at over 10 degress Celsius lower than any rubber-based pad!

Additional Information:

Reduces risk of rolled tubular tires and carbon clincher rim damage

Leaves no melted pad residue that can cause brake pulsation

Reduces pulsation from rims with previous residue buildup

Can extend wheelset life up to four times compared to rubber-based pads

The Tangente offers better overall stopping performance than any other carbon-specific pad.

Composite material offers greater stopping power than traditional cork.

Less "grabby" than rubber for improved braking modulation.

Unique "arrowhead" shape improves wet-weather performance relative to all other cork pads and most rubber pads.

The Tangente is the most durable carbon-specific pad available.

Cork-polymer composite material wears longer than traditional cork.

Composite material wears similarly to low-temperature rubber but Tangente pad is .5mm thicker than most carbon-specific rubber pads.

Compatible:

With Shimano or SRAM style brakes (SHM)

Shipping Weight: .5 lb.
