Review on πŸ”₯ Ultimate Replacement: Swiss Stop Carbon Shimano Brake Pads by Chris Beals

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent carbon brake pads

These are excellent carbon brake pads! I have Bontrager wheels and Bontrager recommends their branded version of these pads, but I have confirmed with Trek that they are identical just without the Bontrager branding. My first set wore unevenly, but that's 100% my fault for not installing them properly. I had my LBS install this second set and they wear great. I have over a year from the first set. probably over 4000 outdoor miles on my bike so definitely can't complain about durability. The braking performance is simply great, which initially bothered me when I switched to carbon wheels with rim brakes. It can be a little lacking in the wet, but I've never felt unsafe in it. Highly recommended!
