Review on 🚴 High-Performance SHIMANO Deore/LX Bicycle V-Brake Pads - Pair - Y8BM9810A by Elmito Yeager

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The advertised use of the cartridge is not possible.

They may be affordable but they don't last as long as I was hoping. Did someone say they ride 10 miles a day on slides and these pads last 6 months? It's just not true. I live in Florida so no hills and same commute to work and it doesn't take more than 3 months. I used to buy Shimano pads and had the same problem, so I wanted a cartridge holder that would make it easy to carefully change every 2-3 months. "Includes Cartridge Type Pads" in the paragraphs at the top of the page; However, after trying to remove the pad as if they were cartridge type pads, I found that it wasn't what was advertised. I will update with reference to a working system. If you don't want to change your brakes every 2-3 months or only ride occasionally, don't worry about these pads.

Pros
  • Cycling
