Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good price, less stuff

I bought these to replace some dirty pads on a rarely used bike. Compared to the starting pads, they were noticeably thinner, at least 30% less material than standard Shimano pads, but also 1/3 times cheaper. They seem to work well and don't squeak like they're dirty. Still plenty, but don't expect the lead time you get from OEM pads.

Pros
  • Smooth braking delivers predictable and progressive performance.
Cons
  • Out of fashion
