When should I replace brake pad retaining pins?
Replace them if the original pin is rusty, rounded, bent, seized, damaged or missing the safety clip. It is a good idea to check them whenever you fit new brake pads.
Are brake pad retaining pins universal?
No. Brake pad retaining pins are not universal. Different Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Hayes and Formula brake calipers can use different pin sizes and clip styles, so always check your caliper model before ordering.

Yes. Gorilla Brakes stocks replacement brake pad retaining pin kits for selected Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Hayes and Formula disc brake calipers, including MTB, e-bike, road, gravel, enduro and downhill brake systems.
