Review on ๐Ÿšด Bicycle Disc Brake Pads for Sram Guide RSC R Avid XO Elixir 7 9 Trail 4 Piston MTB Disc Brakes - 2 Pairs (Resin, Semi-Metallic, Sintered Metal) by Andres Imaging

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent stopping power and reasonable price

Riding a Palm Canyon Epic on a salsa saw, I took these brake pads "just in case" with cornering good during some on the longer descents, my rear pads disappeared and my lever moved closer to the handlebars. At our next stop I quickly replaced the worn pads with these, they fit well making them a quick replacement, my lever was back in position and off we went, after the first pad installation they work great, many stops. Performance, pretty smooth and quiet, glad I tried it, will update as I use it more if anything changes. Updated 10/13/2021. The pads were ok in the dry conditions of the Palm Canyon Epic but on my usual morning rides which can get a bit wet from overnight dew the pads are ok on my first descent but squeak very loudly on every subsequent descent, i have in seems very very loud, i have tried a few pads from other manufacturers but none. seem as good as the original sram pads, i liked the prices but cant stand the squeaking.

Pros
  • Better in extreme conditions such as mud, water and sandy pavement surfaces
Cons
  • Reliability
