Review on 🌱 Organic Resin Semi-Metal Brake Pads for AVID BB7 Juicy 3 5 7, Ensuring Smooth Braking, Reduced Noise, Extended Lifespan, Kevlar and Copper Components by Keith Bradley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

There's a good reason these pads are recommended by Revain - they're better than the OEM alternative and cost twice as much.

I ride a 15 year old Canondale Rush 3 with Juicy brakes. I've been using original pads for years, but I recently tried them and was blown away by the performance. These pads provide a softer feel at your fingertips. I do some pretty extreme mountain work on hard ground with loose rock and sand - this is a standard Southern California road that has power lines running through mountain areas. These pads were excellent on this surface and made my ride more fun overall as I felt very confident controlling the bike on this surface. I would also like to mention that these pads are easier to install than OEM replacements. While online videos always give the impression that pulling out old pads and inserting new pads is a breeze, in my experience they fit snugly and I think these pads just fit better.
