Bike Brakes Melbourne – Pads, Rotors, Cables & Calipers
Shop bike brake parts at Cycle House in Greensborough, Melbourne, with components for road, gravel, mountain, commuter, BMX and electric bikes. Reliable brakes depend on the correct combination of pads, rotors, calipers, cables or hydraulic components, along with proper installation and adjustment.
Our range includes brake pads, disc rotors, calipers, levers, cables, hoses, adaptors, brake fluid and bleed kits from Shimano, SRAM, Tektro, TRP, Galfer, Jagwire, Kool-Stop, Clarks and other brake component brands.
Disc Brake Pads
Disc brake pads are available in different shapes and compounds, so they must match the exact brake caliper. Even pads from the same brand may only fit particular brake models or generations.
Resin or organic pads generally provide quiet operation and good initial braking response. Metal or sintered pads are often selected for wet conditions, longer descents and demanding mountain bike or e-bike use because they can provide increased durability and heat resistance.
Our range includes Shimano and SRAM disc brake pads for road, gravel and mountain bike systems, along with compatible options from Galfer, Kool-Stop, Clarks and other specialist brands.
Disc Brake Rotors
Cycle House stocks disc brake rotors in a range of diameters and mounting systems. Options include Shimano Ice-Tech and RT-series rotors, SRAM CenterLine and HS2 models, and rotors from Tektro and other brands.
Before choosing a rotor, confirm whether the wheel uses a six-bolt or Centre Lock mount. Rotor diameter must also be compatible with the frame, fork, caliper and adaptor. Common sizes include 140, 160, 180, 200 and 203mm.
A larger rotor can provide more braking power and heat management, but it should only be fitted where the bike and fork manufacturer permits that size.
Brake Cables, Hoses & Calipers
Mechanical rim and disc brakes use cables that can stretch, corrode or become contaminated over time. Replacing worn inner cables and housing can improve lever feel and braking response.
Hydraulic systems use model-specific hoses, fittings and fluid. Brake hoses and connecting hardware must match the manufacturer’s system, while calipers and levers need to be compatible with each other.
Our collection includes road and mountain bike brake cables, hydraulic hoses, replacement calipers, levers, adaptors and small brake parts.
Brake Fluids & Bleed Kits
Hydraulic brakes require periodic bleeding to remove air and replace old fluid. Different systems use different fluids, and incompatible fluids must never be mixed.
Cycle House stocks manufacturer-specific brake oils and bleed equipment, including Shimano mineral oil and universal bleed tools. Always confirm the fluid required for the exact brake model before carrying out any work.
Rim Brake Pads & Replacement Parts
We also stock brake shoes and pad inserts for rim-brake road, commuter, BMX and mountain bikes. Pad compound and holder compatibility can vary, particularly between aluminium and carbon braking surfaces.
Regularly inspect pads for wear, embedded debris and correct alignment. Worn pads, damaged cables or contaminated braking surfaces can significantly reduce braking performance.

Browse brake components online or visit Cycle House in Greensborough for advice on compatibility. Bringing the bike or the existing pad, rotor or component into the store is often the easiest way to identify the correct replacement.
Our workshop can professionally replace brake pads, rotors, cables, hoses and calipers, bleed hydraulic brakes and inspect the complete braking system to ensure it operates correctly.
