Brake Sets

Explore Our Range of Road Bike Brake Sets

When it comes to maintaining control on the road, your brake set is arguably one of the most critical components on your bike. Whether you're chasing personal bests or enjoying long endurance rides, having a reliable braking system is essential for safety and performance. At Cranxs, we offer a diverse selection of new and second-hand road bike brake sets, catering to cyclists of all levels and budgets.

Why Upgrade or Replace Your Brakes?

Upgrading your brake set can drastically improve your bike’s performance. Whether you’re looking for enhanced stopping power, better modulation, or simply replacing a worn-out set, investing in quality brake sets is key. Newer models often offer advancements in technology, including lighter materials and improved aerodynamics, which can make a noticeable difference during your rides.

On the other hand, opting for second-hand brake sets can be a cost-effective way to upgrade without compromising on quality. Many experienced cyclists regularly upgrade their components, meaning you can find top-tier brake sets at a fraction of the cost.

Types of Brake Sets Available

At Cranxs, we understand that every cyclist has unique needs, which is why we offer a variety of brake sets to suit different riding styles and preferences:

• Rim Brakes: Traditional and reliable, rim brakes are lighter and are still preferred by many road cyclists for their simplicity and performance.
• Disc Brakes: Offering superior stopping power, especially in wet conditions, disc brakes have become increasingly popular among road cyclists looking for consistency and control.
• Hydraulic Brakes: For those seeking the smoothest, most responsive braking experience, hydraulic systems are hard to beat, offering precision and power.

How to Choose the Right Brake Set

Choosing the right brake set depends on several factors, including your riding style, bike type, and personal preferences:

• Riding Conditions: If you often ride in wet or variable weather conditions, disc brakes might be the best choice for you due to their superior performance in such environments.
• Weight Considerations: For racers and those conscious of weight, a lightweight rim brake set might be the optimal choice to keep your bike as light as possible.
• Ease of Maintenance: If you prefer a set-and-forget system, hydraulic disc brakes could offer the minimal maintenance solution you’re looking for.

Maintenance Tips for Your Brakes

Regular maintenance of your brake set ensures long-lasting performance and safety. Here are some tips to keep your brakes in top shape:

• Regular Inspections: Check your brake pads, rotors, and levers for wear and tear. Replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.
• Cleaning: Keep your brakes clean from dirt and grime, which can affect their performance. Use a suitable cleaner and avoid contaminating the pads or rotors.
• Brake Bleeding: For hydraulic systems, ensure that the brake fluid is regularly bled to prevent air bubbles, which can compromise braking efficiency.
