Review on 🚴 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 Tommy Almasri

An experienced bicycle mechanic who rides mountain bikes in the summer. Decided to save a few bucks and give these a try. I bought two sets front and rear (4 sets of pads) for Sram Guide brakes. Cleaned the rotors with rubbing alcohol, installed the pads (had to reuse the existing Sram wrist pins as they only come with a cotter pin) and installed the pads properly (15-20 heat cycles). First ride, Shvik and limited stopping power. Pads and rotors cleaned again, rotors sanded (wet/dry sandpaper and alcohol), no dice, no improvement. Okay maybe 1 set of pads is dirty. Tried a different set. No difference. New rotors changed, pads rearranged, no difference. Thrown out, bought Sram pads, no problem. Don't waste money.
