Review on Akebono ACT1347 Rear Brake Pad: Premium-Quality Grey Brake Pad for Enhanced Performance by Jay Huang

Driven about 200 miles with new pads (only rear ones replaced) and had no issues with noise or any issues. Installation was very easy with almost no tools and only took about an hour for both bikes. All that was needed was a wrench to remove the tires, everything else needed pliers, a screwdriver and a crowbar to move the pistons. There was plenty of lube and instructions if you need them. Only a small amount of lubricant is needed for the contact points. Be sure to grab some brake cleaner and get rid of any old dust/dirt. I hope they last 63,000 years like the originals! The only downside was that the new pins were not included. They weren't pictured, but Akebobo's website says they've started adding new pins to their pads. It's okay, the old ones work fine.
