Hydraulic brakes use self-adjusting pistons, meaning as the brake pads wear out, they will slowly move. When you replace the pads, the pistons will have moved closer together, requiring a retraction to make room for the new pads. You will need a Hydraulic Brake Piston Pressto retract them. Semi-Metallic: Semi-metallic brake pads are suitable for any riding condition. They are less noisy than metallic brake pads and noisier than organic ones. They fall right in between the two. Metallic: Better suited for harsher riding conditions, such as wet weather or mud, metallic brake pads are the noisiest. However, they will also grab at the rotor the most, producing the most friction to reduce and halt speeds.

Hydraulic disc brakes are also less fiddly to set up as both pads move toward the rotor vs. mechanical disc brakes where only one pad moves toward the rotor. The Hydraulic disc brake systems we use can self-adjust at the pad wears down, resulting in less maintenance. It isn't easy to spot contaminated brake pads with the naked eye. If your brakes squeal or squeak or your rotor appears to be a darker color with oil smears, it's a sign that your brake pads may be contaminated.Pin Clip: Install the pads into the brake caliper. Insert the retaining pin and then lastly the pin clip.

The disadvantage is that Hydraulic disc brakes systems are several times more expensive than mechanical disc brakes. However the actual brake pads are about the same cost.
