Review on ๐Ÿ”ท High-Quality SRAM Force/Rival Brake Pad Inserts for Carbon Rim - Pair by Ricky Rey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as good as expected

Many reviews say this is one of the best carbon pads in both wet and dry conditions but I have found them less than satisfactory. On dry roads they are very soft and require a lot of pressure to stop the bike, while on wet roads you can start braking half a mile before your scheduled stop to actually stop. They leave marks on the braking surface of the rim, so for example after a ride I took them off and threw them in the trash. Lesson learned.

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
