What we supply.
Six sub-categories covering the brake parts your workshop fits and the consumables that move fastest. We’ve kept SKU breadth tight at launch: the brake technologies most shops genuinely service, the pad shapes for the major caliper brands, the rotor sizes that fit the bikes your customers actually ride.
Hydraulic disc brake systems
Complete sets (caliper, lever, hose, fluid) · Road and MTB · Pre-bled where the supply chain permits · Mineral oil or DOT 4/5.1 per system
The current-generation standard for most new bikes above entry trim. Brand-compatible ecosystems and trim levels confirmed per quote.
Mechanical disc brakes
Cable-operated disc calipers · Complete sets and replacement calipers · Standard cable-pull ratios · Compatible with most mechanical brake levers
Lower cost than hydraulic, easier to service in shops without bleeding equipment, the right answer for entry-trim bikes and some commuter or touring builds.
Rim brakes
Caliper rim brakes (dual-pivot and single-pivot for road) · V-brakes (MTB and city) · Pads, cables, and replacement arms supplied as separate consumables
The legacy standard, still fitted on entry-level road bikes and many city and touring bikes. Stocked because the installed base is large.
Brake pads
Disc pads in organic, semi-metallic, and sintered compounds · Shaped for Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Tektro, Hayes, and the other major caliper brands · Rim brake pads in standard road and MTB cartridges
The highest-volume reorder item on this page. Replaceable inserts on the higher-trim rim brake pads. Pad SKUs named by caliper brand and model so a workshop confirms fit before the box arrives.
Rotors
140mm, 160mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 203mm sizes · 6-bolt and Centerlock mounting standards · Standard steel construction · Lighter alternatives where supplied
Rotor size is determined by the bike’s frame and fork mount, not by preference. We name the size and the mounting standard on every SKU.
Hoses, fluid, and bleed kits
Replacement hydraulic hoses (cut to length or in bulk reels) · Mineral oil for Shimano-style systems · DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 for SRAM and most others · Bleed kits matched to major caliper brands
The consumables your bleeding station runs through. Fluid type named on every hydraulic-system, hose, and bleed-kit SKU because mixing fluids destroys the system.
A supplier that treats brakes as the safety component they are.
Caliper brand compatibility on every pad SKU
Every brake pad SKU names the caliper brand and model it fits (Shimano BR-XT, SRAM Level, Magura MT5, Tektro Auriga, and so on). The pad shape determines fit, and the compound determines performance; both are specified per SKU. A workshop manager shouldn’t have to email to ask whether a pad fits a specific caliper.
Wholesale pricing that protects workshop margin
Direct-from-supplier wholesale pricing on the parts your service department reorders most. Tier pricing improves as your volume grows, and pad reorder volumes in particular hit tier breaks fast.
Brand resale + your-brand private label
Brand-name brake components (where our supplier agreements permit wholesale resale) supplied alongside Ryden-branded brake pads, rotors, and mechanical disc calipers. The brand-name parts give your service department what customers ask for; the Ryden range gives margin headroom on the highest-volume consumables.
Pre-bled hydraulic systems where supply permits
Most aftermarket hydraulic systems ship pre-bled at the supplier. For systems requiring bleeding at the shop, our bleed kit range matches the supplied calipers. The honest position is that not all systems can ship pre-bled, and we name which can and which can’t in your quote.
Your brand on the consumable your shop sells most.
Brake pads are the highest-volume reorder item in any bike shop’s parts catalog. A private-label brake pad range gives your shop two commercial advantages over reselling brand-name pads only. First, margin: branded brake pads carry margin a workshop can’t extract from resale. Second, customer retention: a customer who’s had your shop’s branded pads fitted twice is unlikely to source pads from the box-store competitor offering generic alternatives.
We extend private label across brake pads, rotors, and mechanical disc calipers at 200 units per SKU, with 3 weeks to first sample and 2–3 months from sample approval. Hydraulic disc systems and the hydraulic fluid range are honestly outside private-label scope at launch volumes; the engineering and certification depth required for a private-label hydraulic system isn’t viable at our launch scale.
Enquire about private-label brakesBrake specs that determine fit, performance, and warranty.
Brakes are the safety component category in cycling. A failed brake produces customer injury and the legal and reputational exposure that follows it. Wholesale brake parts therefore carry specification requirements that go beyond simple compatibility, and we name them explicitly because a workshop’s parts manager should be able to verify the right SKU before installation rather than after.
Caliper brand and model compatibility
Disc brake pads aren’t interchangeable across caliper brands. The pad shape, mounting clip, and dimensions are specific to each caliper family. Shimano flat-mount and post-mount calipers each use specific pad shapes; SRAM Level, Code, Guide, and G2 use different shapes from each other; Magura MT-series uses a different shape again; Tektro and Hayes have their own pad families. Every pad SKU on our catalog names the calipers it fits, by brand and model.
Pad compound
Organic (resin) pads run quieter and bed in faster, with shorter pad life under hard use. Semi-metallic pads run a middle path between organic and sintered. Sintered (metallic)pads run longer and handle high heat better (the right answer for MTB descending and e-bike use) at the cost of more noise and slightly slower bed-in. The compound is named on every pad SKU so the workshop can match it to the customer’s riding profile.
Rotor size and mounting standard
Rotors are sized in mm: 140mm (lighter road and gravel), 160mm (standard road and entry MTB), 180mm (trail MTB and heavier road), 200mm and 203mm (downhill MTB and heavy-duty applications including most e-bikes). The mounting standard is either 6-bolt (older standard, still common on rim-brake-converted bikes and many MTBs) or Centerlock(Shimano’s spline-based mounting, common on Shimano-equipped bikes and increasingly the standard at higher trim levels). The rotor size is determined by the bike’s frame and fork mount type; we name both the size and the mounting standard on every rotor SKU.
Hydraulic fluid type
Shimano-style hydraulic systems use mineral oil; SRAM and most other systems use DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 brake fluid. The fluids are not interchangeable; mineral oil will destroy a system designed for DOT fluid and vice versa. We supply both fluid types and name the fluid type on every hydraulic system, hose, and bleed kit SKU.
Hose and fitting standards
Hydraulic brake hoses run in standard outside diameters but the fittings (the connectors at the caliper and lever ends) vary by brand. Replacement hoses are supplied with brand-matching fittings or as bulk reel with separate fittings; the SKU names the configuration.
ISO standards and safety certification
Brake components shipped to retail markets must meet the structural and performance standards applicable to the bike category they’re fitted to: ISO 4210 for general bicycle safety covers brake performance; the European EN bicycle standards (14781, 14764, 14766, 14765, 15194) each include brake-specific test requirements. Our complete brake systems carry the relevant test documentation; replacement consumables (pads, rotors, fluid) carry the manufacturer specifications that allow workshops to confirm continued compliance after a service.
Proprietary integrated disc brake systems (some manufacturer-specific systems on high-end road bikes) aren’t in scope at launch because the supply chain is closed to third-party wholesale. Standalone coaster brake mechanisms ship as part of the kids’ bike and cruiser bike SKUs but aren’t sold as standalone wholesale parts at launch volumes; the demand for standalone coaster mechanisms is too narrow to justify the SKU. Drum brakes (still used on some city bike and cargo bike applications) are outside launch scope.
Brake parts ship dense and need careful storage.
Freight is dense and low per-SKU, parcel-eligible for small reorders
Brake components ship dense relative to bike freight. A complete hydraulic disc set weighs less than a saddle but ships in a small box. Per-SKU freight is among the lowest of any wholesale category, and small-volume reorders (pads especially) can move by parcel courier for fast turnaround on workshop stockouts. International freight from the origin port is quoted per shipment alongside your initial quote. For workshops setting up ongoing service inventory, we can quote standing-order arrangements at agreed reorder intervals.
Hydraulic fluid carries hazardous-goods rules at volume
Hydraulic fluid (mineral oil and DOT) ships in sealed containers per the international hazardous-goods classification for those substances. Small-volume shipments fit standard freight; bulk shipments above [5 litres of mineral oil or 4 litres of DOT fluid per shipment] require declared hazardous-goods handling at additional cost. We name the threshold and the additional cost in your quote so a buyer ordering fluid in volume sees the cost implication before the shipment, not after.
Pad storage discipline matters: contamination kills the pad
Brake pads ship in retail-ready packaging where they’re sold through to end customers, and in workshop-bulk packaging where the workshop fits them directly. Pads should be stored in their original packaging until use, because contamination (oil, grease, hand contact) ruins the pad’s bedding-in surface. We flag the storage discipline on workshop-bulk packaging so a busy parts manager doesn’t lose pads to handling.

What buyers actually ask.
Do you supply Shimano, SRAM, and Magura branded brake parts as wholesale resale?
[We supply Ryden-branded brake pads, rotors, and mechanical disc calipers alongside selected brand-name resale where our supplier agreements permit; specific brand availability confirmed per market in your quote, since wholesale resale rights vary by region and distributor agreement.]
What pad compounds do you supply?
Organic (resin), semi-metallic, and sintered (metallic) compounds across the pad range. Compound named on every pad SKU so the workshop matches it to the customer’s riding profile.
Which caliper brands do your pads fit?
Shimano (flat-mount and post-mount), SRAM (Level, Code, Guide, G2 families), Magura (MT series), Tektro, and Hayes, plus the additional caliper families our supplier base carries. Pad fit is specified per SKU by caliper brand and model.
Do you ship hydraulic brake systems pre-bled?
Where the brand and supply chain permit, yes. Most aftermarket hydraulic systems ship pre-bled. Some systems require bleeding at the shop on installation; the quote stage confirms which is which per SKU rather than assuming.
What hydraulic fluid types do you supply?
Mineral oil (for Shimano and Shimano-compatible systems) and DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 (for SRAM and most other systems). The fluid type is named on every hydraulic system, hose, and bleed-kit SKU. The fluids are not interchangeable; mixing them destroys the system.
Are there freight implications for shipping hydraulic fluid?
Small-volume shipments fit standard freight. Bulk fluid orders above [5 litres of mineral oil or 4 litres of DOT fluid per shipment] are declared as hazardous goods per international carrier rules, with the additional handling cost named in your quote rather than disclosed later.
Do you supply rotors in both 6-bolt and Centerlock?
Yes. Both mounting standards across the 140mm, 160mm, 180mm, 200mm, and 203mm sizes. The mounting standard is determined by the bike’s hub, not by preference; we name it on every rotor SKU.
What’s the warranty on wholesale brake parts?
Brake pads and rotors are wear items. Warranty on those covers manufacturing defect rather than wear, with a defect-only period of [12 months from dispatch]. Hydraulic systems and calipers carry longer warranty periods on the structural and seal components: [24 months on calipers and levers, 12 months on hoses and seals]. Confirmed in your quote.
Do you supply bleed kits and the tools to bleed hydraulic systems?
Bleed kits matched to the major caliper brands, yes. Bleeding stations, hose cutters, and other workshop tools are on the wholesale tools and workshop range; the tools that fit our brake SKUs are stocked alongside so a first-time hydraulic stocker can quote both at once.
What’s the lead time on a standard pad reorder?
Stock catalog pads typically dispatch within around 2 weeks dispatch for stock catalog items. Private-label production runs to the standard 2–3 months from sample approval timeline. Mixed orders carry both lead times honestly in the quote.
Can you supply a starter brake inventory for a new shop?
Yes. Quote stage confirms a starter inventory based on your shop’s target customer mix (road, MTB, e-bike heavy, mixed) and your service capacity. The order pattern field on the form flags this so the reply structures appropriately, since a sample-first starter quote looks different from an ongoing-reorder quote.
Do you supply proprietary brake systems for high-end bikes (manufacturer-integrated brake-and-frame systems)?
Not at launch. Proprietary integration systems are supplied through closed brand channels that don’t fit third-party wholesale at launch volumes.
Do you supply drum brakes for city bikes or cargo bikes?
Not at launch. Drum brakes are outside launch scope; the supply chain is too narrow at our launch volumes to carry the SKU sensibly.
