The Odyssey A-Brake pad is a truly reliable choice when it comes to BMX—especially if precise braking and durability matter to you. Designed for the classic U-brake system, these pads have a solid construction that not only looks good but really gets the job done.
The pad’s durometer—meaning the hardness of the rubber compound—plays a key role in performance. The black version features a medium-hardness standard compound, offering a perfect balance between grip and wear resistance. It’s the best choice if you want consistent braking in all kinds of riding environments without wearing the pads out too quickly.
Thanks to its threaded design, it’s easy to swap out, and the shape is optimized to fit snugly against the rim while minimizing squealing. Experienced riders also love this pad because it’s a simple yet dependable solution—exactly what you need on a BMX setup.
