Frequently Asked Questions

Which Tektro gravel brake calipers are these pads compatible with?
These pads fit all Tektro gravel-ready disc brakes, including hydraulic systems HD-R510, HD-R310, HD-R290, HD-R280, and mechanical calipers such as MD-C500, MD-C510, MD-C550, and Lyra (MD-C400 series). If your bike uses Tektro gravel or CX disc brakes, these pads will fit.
Which compound is best for Tektro gravel riding?
It depends on terrain and conditions: • Enduro Pro Ultimate → steep gravel descents, heavy riders, bikepacking • Enduro Pro Semi-Metallic → best all-round gravel compound • Factory Racing Stealth → quiet braking on mixed terrain • Factory Racing Green → longest lifespan in mud, sand and dust • Sintered (Metallic) → harsh winter gravel and extreme contamination For most riders, Blue Semi-Metallic offers the best balance of power and durability.
Do Tektro gravel brakes wear pads faster than road brakes?
Yes. Gravel introduces far more grit, dust, vibration and wet contamination than road riding. As a result, Tektro gravel pads typically wear 2–3× faster, especially on mechanical systems like MD-C500 or Lyra, which rely on higher cable tension.
How do I know when to replace my Tektro gravel brake pads?
Replace pads when friction material reaches 1mm, or when braking power drops, noise increases, or lever travel changes. Riders in wet or sandy terrain should inspect pads more often, as these conditions accelerate wear significantly.
Do Tektro hydraulic and mechanical gravel brakes require bedding-in?
Yes. Bedding-in ensures full braking power and quiet operation. Perform 10–15 controlled stops from medium speed, increasing pressure gradually. Mechanical systems such as Spyre-style MD-C calipers benefit greatly from proper bedding-in for stronger bite and reduced noise.
