Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for NUTT Brakes for Apollo Phantom
These semi-metallic brake pads are designed for use with NUTT hydraulic disc brakes on the Apollo Phantom electric scooter. They provide reliable braking performance for your scooter, ensuring confident stopping power in various conditions.
Key Features and Benefits
- Semi-Metallic Compound: The pads feature a resin-based semi-metallic compound, which includes metal fibers and ceramic particles. This blend offers a good balance of braking power, durability, and heat resistance, suitable for general riding conditions.
- Direct Replacement: These pads are a direct replacement for the original pads in NUTT hydraulic brake calipers, ensuring a precise fit and straightforward installation.
- Complete Set: Each order includes a pair of brake pads, a spring clip, and a cotter pin, providing the necessary components for a pad replacement on one caliper.
Compatibility and Installation
These brake pads are specifically compatible with NUTT hydraulic brake systems found on the Apollo Phantom electric scooter. They are also compatible with ZOOM hydraulic brake systems and may fit other scooters equipped with NUTT or ZOOM brake calipers, including certain ZERO RX/10X/11X, Dualtron Thunder, Speedual, Speedual Mini, and Speedual Plus models. For Grace scooters, these pads are equipped on the rear brake caliper.
To ensure correct fitment, please compare the shape and dimensions of these pads (approximately 30mm wide x 17mm high) with your existing brake pads before ordering. The backing plate shape and mounting hole must match your caliper's design.
Maintenance and Safety Guidance
Regular inspection of your brake pads is crucial for safe operation. Replace pads when the friction material wears down to approximately 1mm thickness or if they show signs of uneven wear, glazing, or contamination (e.g., oil, grease). Contaminated pads can lead to reduced braking performance and should be replaced immediately.
After installing new brake pads, it is essential to "bed in" the brakes. This process involves a series of gentle stops followed by progressively harder stops to allow the pad material to transfer evenly onto the brake disc. This ensures optimal braking performance and longevity of the pads. Avoid hard braking immediately after installation.
Always ensure that all brake system components are clean and free from debris during installation. Tighten all fasteners to the manufacturer's specified torque values (refer to your scooter's service manual) to prevent loosening during operation.
