Hayes Stroker Ryde pad springs?

mattlee

I have just purchased a new pair of Hayes pads but they dont come with that annoying little clip that sits between the pads.
Does anyone know where i can obtain a new one as mine has somehow bent itself beyond repair.

Ive had no luck on the web, so any help would be great.

Thanks in advance

Where did you buy the pads - they normally come with any necessary springs or clips.

They are offical Hayes ones ordered from Chain reaction. I opted for offical ones incase the cheaper make didnt include them.

Normally buy from Superstar. I have Stroker Trail, and they don't use clips, but my son has Shimano, and they come with the springs.
Have you called CRC to ask them, or emailed. They are normally helpful, if a bit slow sometimes.

Yeah i have dropped them an email to advise, but as it was a sealed pack i guess they dont supply them with the pads.
I email Hayes to see if they can provide one, just a pain that i have wait for a silly little clip. :x

My Ryde's didn't use spring clips, do you mean the pin the goes through the top of the caliper holding the pads in?

mattlee

No its not the bolt that goes through the caliper and through the top of the pads, there is a small metal clip, 'U' shaped that sits between the top of the pads, kind of like a spring clip.

Mine has become slightly mis-shapen and now catches on the brake disc. I cant straighen it out enough to stop it catching and making an awful noise.

there should not be any spring on the Rydes the pads are retained by magnets..

in the manual

Stroker Ryde
1. Remove the wheel.
2. Using a pliers, remove the pad pin retaining clip from the pad pin. Caution: Wear protective eyewear when working with spring clips.
3. With a 2.5mm Allen wrench, remove the pad pin from the caliper.
4. Using the pad pin, push on the edge of each pad through the pad window, until it disengages from the magnet.
5. Using the boxed end of a 8 mm wrench, push the caliper pistons back until they bottom. This will give you more room to fit in the new pads. Walk the piston back and forth until the piston
is all the way back in the bore. Do the same thing on the other side.
Note: There are two different brake pads, an inner and outer. The pads are labeled “inner” or “outer” on the back of the pad.
Installing the pads...
6. Slide each pad into the caliper until it engages the magnet and snaps into place.
7. Insert the pad pin through the hole into the caliper and through the tab on both pads. Using a 2.5mm Allen wrench, tighten the pad pin to 18+/- 2in-lbs (2.0 +/- 0.3 Nm)
8. Attach the pad pin retaining clip.
Caution: Wear protective eyewear when working with spring clips.
9. Install the wheel.

This is what i thought ready the manual that came with the pads, seems very strange that they were on the bike.

I have opted to leave it off and the brakes still work fine, the pads arent loose either as they are held on by the magnets.

Thanks for your help
