The Avid Spreizfeder Trail/Guide/RSC/RS/R is a small but essential spare part designed specifically for Avid and SRAM Trail and Guide series disc brakes, including R, RS and RSC variants. This spreader spring sits between the brake pads inside the caliper and helps keep the pads correctly spaced when the brake is not engaged. By maintaining the ideal distance between pads and rotor, it supports consistent braking performance, reduces unwanted pad rub, and makes wheel installation and removal smoother.
Perfect for riders who service their own brakes or mechanics maintaining a fleet of bikes, this Avid spreader spring is an inexpensive way to refresh tired or bent originals. It is especially useful after pad changes, caliper cleaning, or a full brake overhaul. Keeping this small component in top condition helps your Trail or Guide brakes return cleanly after each pull, contributing to a more predictable lever feel and quieter operation on long descents, technical trails, and everyday rides alike.
