Good brakes

On: 2009-11-06

These are good quality brake pads. Worth the money. Dont skimp on brakes. Your life may depend on them.

Very nice.

Nice design, well executed, good price. Put these on the rear of my road bike, seems to match the wheel curvature reasonably well. Havent used much, but seem to work well. The actual rubber is very, very stiff, not rubbery at all, I guess they know what theyre doing. These should last a long time. Almost too big to fit in the brakes, the brakes had to be let all the way out. Recommended for anyone going down steep, long hills.

Swivel Stalk - Better Than Stock

I bought these for a cheap Kent bike I bought at Big 5 Sports. The stock pads were useless. After putting these on the bike and adjusting them I am very happy with the results. Install Tip: do not over-tighten these or you will ruin them. Firmly snug is good enough. Hold the pad with one hand while tightening with the other. They install with a 5mm Allen wrench.

Good Brakes, Worth the $$$

Im impressed with these brakes. I have a 2003 Trek 6700 and these perform as good, maybe better, than stockers. Although these cost a bit more, its worth it if you want the feel and performance of great brakes. Plus the colors match my bike and gear!

The Best Brake Shoes I Ever Used!!!

On: 2008-07-15

These are perhaps the VERY BEST brake shoes I have ever had!!!
I have tried several other brands including kool stop mountain brakes (which are still great), but these triple compound shoes are just the very best. They grip my rims like no other shoes has. They are fantastic in ALL conditions (dry, dirt and even wet), they simply work like a good brake shoe should! I am VERY pleased with this shoe.

Best pads ever

I cant say enough good things about these pads. The grip like no other pads Ive used including Aztec and regular Kool-Stop pads. My bike feels like disc brakes were added at a very minimal cost. I have used a set for about a year and theres still a lot of life left in them. A great upgrade!
