Tektro D40 11 Performance Ceramic HD E710 Review

I've pushed these brakes and pads to the limit of both speed and mass. In that time I've burned at least 4 sets of pads while moving a very heavy full suspension touring bike with 4 panniers, 3 handlebar bags and a trailer with independent suspension. If I had problems with them, I would throw them away.

I have an electric bike that can go up to 110 km/h and I ride it at least 10 km almost every day. These brakes usually last about a YEAR! It's really adorable. I've tried other disc brakes on my previous slower electric bikes and they wore out a lot quicker than those bad boys. For non-electric bikes, I'm sure they will last much longer than a year.

I bought these replacement brake pads for my Tektro Dorado hydraulic disc brakes. I think they are ok but the brakes themselves suck. Brakes lose fluid and there is no way to maintain a constant brake intervention point. they always felt spongy, even when new. I recently switched to manual disc brakes (a different brand) so those pads were useless anyway.

These pads came with our Juiced ODK U500 bikes. We've ridden them 500 miles (1,000 miles between two bikes) under heavy use — from hauling our five-year-old over groceries for a week to flying down hills at 30 mph — and retained their original stopping power until they needed replacing. Of course, this has a lot to do with the brakes themselves. As long as you keep your brakes and pads in tip-top shape, there's no reason they shouldn't last 500 miles.
