Disc Brake pads

[ScotiaLass]

I think I need new front pads for my brakes.

This is the spec:
Front Brake:
Tektro HDC-330, hydraulic disc, dual piston, tooled reach adj., Light Wave style rotor, 160mm rotor

Can someone tell me what I need to buy to replace the pads?

HERE you go, I think these are the ones

Thanks @ianrauk
Any particular ones or would all of these fit?
Sorry, I know nothing about this!

The Semi metallic ones and you're good to go They seem to be the best all rounders I find.

I found some pads on Ebay from a manufacturer called EBC that I've known and used before in the motorcycle world, so I trust them as decent quality.

Not sure about your Tektro brakes but I found it easier to leave the wheels in and remove the calipers to examine and replace the existing pads on my Magura's.

Good luck.

I looked at some from EBC but didn't know the make or what the heck I was looking for!
I have a work stand so plan to watch some You Tube vids and go from there!

No, just the top selection, the Auriga type with the return springs.
Other links so you can choose your compound ( I'd suggest organic for cheapness, Kevlar (or Uberbike matrix) for performance) would be Superstarcomponents ..Pad S2 on their identifier. :

order here: http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/shop/mountain/mountain-braking/mountain-disc-brake-pads/


or Uberbike on ebay.... use Tektro HDC 300 as your search terms:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_f...e+HDC+300.TRS0&_nkw=uberbike+HDC+300&_sacat=0

Nothing to choose between them, they probably come out of the same factory, but Superstar will send you some free Haribo or stickers.....

The EBC website took a bit of digging through to find a fitment guide:

http://ebcbrakes.com/Assets/MTBfitments.pdf

A 330 is listed but Tektro are mentioned three times, drawings of the pads themselves at least are shown.

Here are some on Ebay but not sure if these are yours - seller is good, Ive used them myself:

Those are the Gemini..... not the right fitting as you suspected. EBC sell them, but only via German sellers on eBay... at over a tenner a pair unfortunately.

Interesting. The EBC fitment number is CFA327 for teh Auriga pad.... which is the same as the Deore 525.... enter that as a search term in ebay and you can get two pairs for six quid.

@ScotiaLass here is a good video on Tektro brake pad replacement. No need to remove the caliper from the bike, just take the relevant wheel off.
