Review on 🔷 Gekors Disc Brake Pads for Shimano/Tektro/TRP Bicycles - 1 Pair with Spring by Michael Cleveland

I bought it on the recommendation of a bike forum member. Certainly a bargain price compared to brands like Swiss Stop or Jagwire. They looked a little thicker than other pads I've bought in the past, but I figured they should work just fine. The pads were expected to work, although the fit and finish were a little rough. I'm not entirely sure if they were aluminum based, but I don't oversteer my brakes so I'm not worried about overheating. Installation was easy and involves a traditional spring (built into TRP HY/RD brakes) and I adjusted it by releasing the brake. Bolts between body and frame using Birzman Clam Disc Brake Gap Tool Silver Set of 3 to adjust, then tighten bolts to desired setting. The most (not very) interesting thing is to set the cable to HY / RD. These pads made it even more annoying due to the thickness of the pads. After all, they were installed with only slightly more effort than previous brands. In use I expected normal break-in and not so high initial performance. Unfortunately, they were still so soft when applied after the first styling. They have never packed discs with the stopping power normally expected. Bad brakes are something I don't want to encounter on my commute. When I got home from my last ride with these pads, I replaced them with worn out Swiss Stop pads until I ordered a new pair. They went to the trash can. Not recommended at all as the security is not worth the savings.
