Product Details

Overview & Technology

Avid Rim Wrangler 2 replacement cartridge pads (Manufacturer Part #: 11.5337.100.200, Product #210140) are designed for linear-pull rim brakes and provide straightforward, dependable braking using a molded rubber pad compound. The cartridge design lets you swap worn rubber inserts quickly without replacing the entire holder — a practical solution for riders who want low-cost, fast maintenance on the trail or during a shop day. The pads use a durable rubber compound tuned for consistent bite and modulation across varied conditions. Their cartridge construction keeps the pad aligned with the brake shoe and protects your fingers from hot surfaces during extended braking. Shipping dimensions: 5.7" x 3.7" x 0.7"; weight: 0.78 lb (pair).

Key Features & Benefits

What sets the Wrangler 2 apart: • Replaceable cartridge design: Replace the rubber insert without changing the entire shoe, saving time and money. • Rubber compound: Molded for predictable bite and smooth modulation in dry and damp conditions. • Robust construction: Backing and cartridge housing maintain pad position for consistent wear and braking feel. Real-world benefit: quick on-bike swaps let you get back to riding fast, while the rubber compound balances grip and rim friendliness for everyday mountain and trail use.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

The Rim Wrangler 2 pads are a cartridge-style replacement intended for linear-pull / V-brake systems that accept Avid-style cartridges. They carry SRAM Model ID RB-SPP-A0 and the Avid Manufacturer Part #: 11.5337.100.200. Before ordering, verify that your brake shoe holder accepts Avid cartridge pads or check the original pad shape against these cartridges. Installation is straightforward: remove the retaining pin or bolt, pull the old cartridge out, push the new cartridge into the shoe and secure the pin. For best performance, clean the rim braking surface, set a slight toe-in, and torque hardware to manufacturer specs. Note: These rubber cartridges are designed for aluminum rims; use a carbon-specific pad on carbon braking surfaces to avoid excess heat and wear.

Who This Is For

The Avid Rim Wrangler 2 is ideal for mountain riders, commuters, and touring cyclists who rely on traditional linear-pull/V-brake setups and want an economical, easy-to-maintain pad option. It's a solid choice for anyone running alloy rims who values straightforward replacement and dependable everyday braking. If you ride aggressive downhill on heavy or carbon-specific rims, consider pads formulated for higher heat dissipation or carbon-specific compounds. For most trail, cross-country, and town use, the Wrangler 2 gives balanced stopping power and simple upkeep.

Frequently Asked Questions

What brakes are these pads compatible with?

The Rim Wrangler 2 cartridges are intended for Avid-style linear-pull (V-brake) shoe holders and match SRAM Model ID RB-SPP-A0. Confirm your brake shoe accepts Avid cartridge pads or compare the cartridge shape to your current pads before ordering.

Can I use these pads on carbon rims?

These pads use a rubber compound designed for aluminum rims. For carbon rims you should use a carbon-specific pad that disperses heat differently to avoid rim damage and reduced braking performance.

How hard is installation and how long do they last?

Installation is quick — remove the retaining pin or bolt, slip in the new cartridge, and secure it. Lifespan depends on riding conditions, load, and rim material; expect longer life under dry, light-use conditions and shorter life in gritty, wet environments.

Do these pads reduce rim wear?

The rubber compound is formulated to balance grip with rim friendliness, but any rim brake will cause some wear over time. Regular rim inspection and cleaning will maximize long-term rim life.

Are replacement cartridges sold separately or only as a pair?

This product is sold as a pair of replacement cartridge pads. Check Forest Bikes product listings for single cartridges or bulk options if you need only one side.

Why choose cartridge pads over molded one-piece pads?

Cartridge pads let you replace just the rubber insert rather than the whole shoe, lowering long-term cost and waste. They also simplify on-trail maintenance because cartridges are usually easier to seat and align in the shoe.

Buying Guide

When choosing rim brake pads, match the pad type (cartridge vs. molded) and model ID to your brake shoe. Cartridge pads like the Avid Rim Wrangler 2 are convenient because you replace only the rubber insert, which is cheaper and faster than swapping whole shoes. Consider rim material — aluminum rims work fine with rubber compounds, while carbon rims need dedicated carbon-specific pads. Also assess riding conditions: softer compounds bite better in wet/muddy conditions but wear faster; harder compounds last longer but may feel less powerful initially. For general mountain, commuting, and touring use, a balanced rubber cartridge gives reliable stopping and easy maintenance without specialized tools.
