Specialized Tarmac brake pad questions
The pad shape depends on the exact Tarmac build and year. Tarmac road bikes use several Shimano and SRAM flat-mount brake families, so select the complete model and confirm the caliper marking before ordering.
Some builds share a pad platform, but this cannot be assumed from the frame generation. The fitted Shimano or SRAM brake and build level determine the correct collection.
Comp, Expert, Pro and S-Works builds can use different groupsets and calipers in the same year. Gorilla Brain keeps each source-confirmed build separate.
