Just cyrious I just got some 06 models & want to change the pads to the regular from the corima pads. There is no set screw & trying as hard as I dare the pads dont budge.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
How do you remove ZG brake pads?

Did they change it from the '05? If they are the same then they slide out, but you got to push pretty hard. It took me a while to get the first one, but then the others were not that tough. Be careful not to break the corima pad when you slide it out aka push strai, not downward.
If they are differnt, sorry for wasteing your time.

Thanks guys I got it.
Your all right though they were tight
TSMonk your right too as I did chip one corima pad.
I took the holders off the calipers & was using the edge of a table to push the pad upwards & holder downwards.
The first one was so tight I couldn't believe it
I called William at Wise & he told me about the table. Although I think most leave the holders in & maybe that was why it was harder for me. I was afraid to slip & nick the calipers or worse.
Thanks all installed now.

I took mine out once by accident. I was standing over the bike waiting for a buddy and had my back brake on. I pushed the bike back with my butt and out popped the cork pads on the back. That might be the easiest way.
For certain parts stiffer is more important than lighter.

That will happen if you take the corima's in and out a few time... they loosen up. I did the same thing once. I found a small dab of tubular cement on each side of the pad notch holds them in perfectly.

If you don't care about saving the corimas, and I don't know why you would care, just take a screwdriver and push them out from those nice large holes in the back of the holders. Very quick, and if you hate the corimas as much as I do very satisfying.

If I do go carbon I would do that too. Because this is too much work

A bit late now, but I had the same problem with mine, ref this thread.

I also chipped one of the Corima pads before I realised it was easier to hold the pad in the vice.
BTW Can someone tell me how to make that long url string appear as a shorter phrase such as "here" or "this thread"

13 replies on how to change brake pads. This is the place for help !
It's not the pad changing I'm worried about, it's the rider changing. I swapped the Corima pads for the black Gir's that 0G supplied before fitting the brakes to my new bike...
...then I went for a ride at the weekend. I braked on a descent, I was almost locking up the wheels and came close to throwing myself of the bike. The brakes (maybe rim surfaces too) felt stronger than my old Campa Record. They feel nice. Only the shape seems to get lots of dust on it, air doesn't flow around it. Still, they're great.
