SRAM Code / Code R / Code RSC / Guide RE Disc Brake Pads - Sintered, Steel Backed, 1 Pair

These SRAM sintered disc brake pads fit Code (2011 onward), Code R, Code RSC and Guide RE brakes. The metallic compound sits on a steel backing plate, and each kit contains one pair of pads for one caliper, plus the spreader spring, retention pin and clip. Order two kits to replace the pads in both brakes.

Check the caliper, then choose the compound

SRAM part 00.5315.023.010 fits Code from 2011 onward, including Code R, Code RSC and Code Stealth; Guide RE; G2 RE; DB8, DB6 and DB4; and Motive. The RE matters: regular Guide and G2 brakes use a different pad shape. Maven also uses a different, larger pad. A SRAM logo on the lever alone does not identify the right replacement.

Why run sintered pads?

Sintered is the option we would look at for sustained braking and wet or muddy riding. Compared with organic pads, the tradeoffs are more potential noise, a longer bed-in period and less initial bite. Pick the compound for your riding conditions and preferred lever feel. A fresh set of pads is also a good time to inspect rotor wear and look for contamination.

Follow SRAM’s installation and bed-in instructions. SRAM specifies new rotors when changing between pad materials. That matters if you are switching from organic to sintered rather than replacing like for like.

• Two steel-backed sintered pads for one caliper
