Enduro rider from Arizona approved

Great pass. Thanks for attention. Was a little concerned about squealing and heat dissipation but they are really great for the price.

Pros
  • Even in the bad rain on the Butterfield the pads held up well.
Cons
  • These do not perform well for mountain biking. I’m almost unable to stop after short descents.

Buy only Shimano replacement parts

This is the problem when an after-market parts company (Corki) tries to make one part for a dozen different brakes. This part was supposed to fit my Shimano BR-M615 brakes. IT DIDN'T FIT. The spring between the pads was too wide, by 1/32 to 1/16th of an inch. Sounds so small, but I tried and tried to make it fit with no success. Do I pay $5 to ship a $12 part back for a refund. No, but maybe I can save future buyers the frustration I experienced. There's satisfaction in that.

Pros
  • Cycling
Cons
  • The brake pads may not be environmentally friendly due to the use of certain materials

R317 pads fit, but not the spring

So the pads work- at least from a quick ride down my road. But in order to fit the pin on an older sora road disc brake caliper (Br-R317), I needed to use the old spring bars. The spring bar that came with the new pads did not allow the pin to slide all the way through. I'll update this review if there are any updates with pad wear.

Pros
  • Look good.
Cons
  • The brake pads may not fit properly on certain bike models

Good price, loud, with good stoping power.

These pads are great for the price point. However, they are so loud! And they have incredibly fast stopping power. Mine have worn down about 80% in 3 months which is not ideal. For this reason, I am going to try a different type of pad.

Pros
  • buena compra, envío rápido
Cons
  • The pad part broke off the backing after during my 3rd ride with them.I guess you get what you pay for.
