from Oregon Date Reviewed: March 14, 2010 Strengths: They're difficult to remove from the holder so I can throw 'em out. Weaknesses: As previously noted, these pads greatly contribute to premature rim wear. Almost immediatly they remove chunks of metal from the machined surface. The embedded metal particles WILL grind your rim to smithereens wet or dry. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all uphill with these pads Duration Product Used: Tested or demo'ed only Purchased At: came with brakes, le Similar Products Used: Kool stops. never a problem with any of the various colors. Bike Setup: these things arent worthy of a kiddie bike so I wont bother with details of the rim damage I've seen from them.
