Magura has used several pad profiles over the years, so the safe approach is to remove a worn pad and match the backing plate, mounting tab, and retaining-pin hole against this one rather than going by name alone. Any model number stamped on the old pad makes confirmation easier. If you are unsure your caliper takes the 012 shape, send us a clear photo of the old pad and we'll check it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSinter is in the name, so are these sintered-metal pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Despite the name, Sinter only make organic pads, not sintered-metal. The organic compound runs cooler at the caliper, bites well from cold, stays quieter, and is gentler on your rotors than sintered metal. The trade-off is a lower heat ceiling, which is why heavy e-bike and downhill riders should look at the Blue s530 compound built for that use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I bed in the new pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e Once the pads are fitted, find a safe stretch of flat road or trail. Bring the bike up to a moderate speed and pull the brake firmly to slow down, without locking the wheel or coming to a full stop, then repeat around twenty to thirty times for each brake. This lays an even layer of pad material onto the rotor so the brake reaches full power and runs quietly.

Will the new ones fit straight in?\u003c\/strong\u003e Not until you reset the caliper. As the old pads wore, the pistons crept outward to take up the gap, so there will not be room for fresh, full-thickness pads. Remove the old pads, then gently spread the pistons fully back into the caliper with a plastic tire lever or a dedicated piston-press tool before fitting the new ones. Push evenly so you do not cock a piston, and pump the lever a few times afterward to bring the pads back to the rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sinter","offers":[{"title":"Green s2032","offer_id":39443634716716,"sku":"73-012-063-7","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black s550","offer_id":39443634683948,"sku":"73-012-080-0","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue s530","offer_id":39443634749484,"sku":"73-012-034-7","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red s514","offer_id":39443634651180,"sku":"73-012-041-0","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/5786\/5260\/files\/012_2_GREEN.jpg?v=1683265819"},{"product_id":"sinter-model-009-magura-campagnolo","title":"Sinter Model 009 Magura\/Campagnolo","description":"\u003cp\u003eMagura's MT-series two-piston calipers and Campagnolo's pre-2019 disc brakes share a pad pocket, and the Sinter Model 009 is the organic-compound replacement that fits both.

Fitment comes down to the pad profile, not the brand label, so pull a worn pad and compare the backing-plate outline, the tab, and the pin hole with this one before you order. If your old pad has a model number stamped on it, use that as a cross-check.

Organic compound runs cooler at the caliper, gives you more lever feedback and better modulation, and stays quieter with less rotor wear and vibration than a sintered pad.

The Gustav M is most often on tandems, cargo bikes, and adventure-touring builds where the rider is asking the brake to control significant gross weight at sustained moderate pressure; exactly the pattern organic-matrix compound was designed for. The resin matrix bites predictably, modulates linearly, and stays quiet on dry rotors. The Gustav's larger pad area means each pad lasts longer per mile than a smaller-caliper pad would, so the Model 042 install interval is generous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompound: organic (ceramic-loaded, resin-bound)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBacking plate: steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad shape: Magura Gustav M four-piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePads per package: 2 (one caliper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 pads (left and right), bedding-in instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLjubljana since 1969, distributed by Euro Toolworks\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSinter has been making friction materials in Ljubljana since 1969, and developed the first disc brake pads in the former Yugoslavia in 1972. The Slovenian plant supplies organic-compound pads to motorcycle OEMs and the bicycle aftermarket. The Gustav M's installed base is small but loyal; the Model 042 is the Sinter catalog's commitment to the long-tail customer base who's still riding a 2008-vintage tandem or a workshop's electric cargo build with the Gustav still in service. Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and is the official technical partner of multiple World Tour and downhill teams. Euro Toolworks is the importer behind both Slovenian brands in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePro tip from our mechanics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gustav M's pad-retention pin is shop-friendly to remove but a touch fragile after twenty years of seasonal service: tap it out gently with a small punch rather than levering it with a pliers, because a bent pin won't seat correctly with fresh Sinter pads and produces uneven pad-to-rotor contact. If the pin shows wear or distortion, replace it before installing the new pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the broader compound primer and fitment grid, see \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/tech-tips\/how-to-choose-sinter-brake-pads\"\u003eHow to choose Sinter brake pads →\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich brakes does the Sinter Model 042 pad fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This pad is made for Magura Gustav and Gustav Pro calipers. Even within Magura the pad shapes differ from model to model, so the dependable step is to remove a worn pad and match the backing plate, mounting tab, and pin hole to this one rather than relying on the name alone. A model number stamped on the old pad is a useful confirmation if present. When in doubt, send us a clear photo of the worn pad and we'll verify the fit before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these sintered-metal pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Despite the brand name, Sinter only make organic brake pads, not sintered-metal. Organic compounds run cooler at the caliper, give more lever feel and modulation, stay quieter, and cause less rotor wear and vibration than metal pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I reset the caliper so the new pads fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e As the old pads wore down, the Gustav's pistons advanced to take up the gap, so there won't be room for fresh, full-thickness pads. Remove the old pads, then gently push all four pistons back into the caliper bores with a plastic tire lever or a dedicated piston-press tool before fitting the new pads. Avoid pulling the lever while the pads are out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to bed in the new pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. New pads need bedding in to transfer an even layer of pad material onto the rotor and reach full power. Find a safe, flat stretch of road, bring the bike up to a moderate speed, and brake firmly to nearly walking pace several times without coming to a full stop. The bite will feel weak at first and strengthen as the surfaces mate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unior USA","offers":[{"title":"Green s2032","offer_id":45141205876780,"sku":"73-042-063-7","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue s530","offer_id":45141205909548,"sku":"73-042-034-7","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red s514","offer_id":45141205942316,"sku":"73-042-041-0","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0012\/5786\/5260\/files\/SN-042-Green.jpg?v=1769147553"}],"url":"https:\/\/uniorusa.com\/collections\/sinter-brake-pads-for-magura.oembed","provider":"Unior USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
