Help Identifying Brake Pads

Posts: 5
After having a bike from Halfords (and my last bike from there) I need to change the front brake pads but as is the way with cheap bikes, you can never find the correct pads on the internet anywhere. I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of some pads that would fit. The shape looks similar to a Hayes MX2 pad.
Any help would be greatly received.

so what are the brakes?"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

They are either hayes mechanical brakes prob mx4(but they have a flat on either side) or hayes sole if they are hydraulic.

When I had mechanical mx4 brakes, I couldn't get them from halfords either and the the LBS was no help. Got them from Chain reaction in the end.0 -
The pads from my soles are slightly bigger and a different shapeI've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

or one of the promax brakes."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

hmm, they all seem to have a longer location lug than the one pictured though ?

like I said untill the OP says what brakes he has everyone is just guessing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Well the brakes and brake pads say 'Zoom' on them which I can only guess is Halfords own brand as a simple Google search brings up nothing related Zoom brakes. This is why I was asking is anybody knew of any pads that would fit.
Thanks for the help, Dave.0 -
Halfords own brand is Bikehut. They sell cable disk, hydraulic disk and v brakes under that brand.0

I suspect from the description that Nick is correct, but only pictures will confirm this.nicklouse wrote:-Liam-

Zoom are very low end forks never seen Zoom brakes though, bikes with Zoom products which usually come with Promax brakes. What bike are they from?

It's quite dark in the garage but I have gone out and took some. Not the best and if their not good enough let me know and I will take some tomorrow in the sunlight.-Liam- wrote:Got any pics of the calipers ?
The bike from memory is a Apollo ( :evil: ) XC.26 something or other. The front forks are a Suntour model.Andy_B wrote:What bike are they from?

-Liam- lots of manufacturers use circular brake pads & they're all different sizes, they might be the same, they might not be.0

Please may i come in here..
i am having the exact same problem I had a promax caliper on my son's Apollo Demolition. But now have a zoom. I am of the understanding that zoom replace promax?? I now can't find replacement pads or calliper that will fit the exisiting promax 160 front rotor.0 -
Not sure what size rotor you have fitted. Though my enquiry on another forum was for a 160mm. I was told that an Avid BB5 calliper may fit. If you where considering replacing this?0

Those brakes are Artec and are very poor tbh. Halfords do stock them from clarks. About the only place you will get them.0
