Review on 2 Pairs Bicycle Disc Brake Pads For Sram Guide RSC Avid XO Elixir 7 9 Trail 4 Piston MTB Disc Brakes (Resin,Semi-Metallic,Sintered Metal) by Richie Kotun

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Too thick for 2018Guide R brakes

I have Guide R brakes and purchased the semi-metalic pads. They are too thick to fit between the pistons and the rotar. Returning them to Ebay. I have used Jagwire brand in the past (for the same bike) and did not have any problem simply dropping in the new pads.

Pros
  • Saved tons of money, they work great, never faded even on reddish knob decent, no noise
Cons
  • Sintered metal pads are too noisy
