Know before you buy
Yes, the Jagwire Road Pro S Inserts are designed to be compatible with both SRAM and Shimano road brake systems. They are also available in a specific version for Campagnolo systems.
No, you should use dedicated compounds for each rim material. Jagwire offers a specific carbon-compound insert for carbon wheels, while the Power and Pro Wet compounds are intended for aluminum rims.
The Pro Wet compound is specifically formulated to provide better stopping power and consistency in rainy or damp conditions. The standard Power compound is designed for optimal performance in dry, everyday riding.
These inserts are designed for standard road brake systems that utilize replaceable pad cartridges. Please ensure your current brake holders are compatible with the specific SRAM/Shimano or Campagnolo insert shape before purchasing.
You should replace your inserts when the wear indicator grooves are no longer visible or if the pad surface has become glazed, hardened, or contaminated with road debris. Regularly checking for these signs ensures you maintain consistent modulation and stopping power.
