from UK Date Reviewed: January 23, 2010 Strengths: This is for the V-brake/canti pads as pictured, NOT disc pads. Cheap(ish), easier to find than Kool-Stop, much less squealy than Kool-Stop salmons, really excellent wet braking (they even work well in snow), reasonably rim-friendly because they don't embed chips of aluminium or grit as easily as some. Weaknesses: Wear out quickly in the wet compared to Kool-Stop salmons. They make plenty of mess (pad material and aluminium sludge from the rims), so avoid if you have amber-walled tyres. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Road Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: Kool-Stop, Clarks, Tektro, Shimano. Bike Setup: Fixed-gear MTB for all-weather commuting.

from Saskatoon, SK Date Reviewed: July 22, 2004 Strengths: Cheap Weaknesses: They wore out in 3 months of primarily commuting! Man do they howl! They have been noisy since the start despite adjustments. It doesn't seem to matter - wet, dry, dirty, or clean - they howl. We're not talking a little squeak either but an air-horn blast howl. They have little stopping power when dry let alone wet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: South of Diefenbaker Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $12.00 Purchased At: LBS Similar Products Used: Koolstop, various others, Norco Bike Setup: Cannondale cyclocross for cross country singletrack, 100+ km road rides, daily commute.

from san diego Date Reviewed: September 30, 2003 Strengths: none Weaknesses: I rode one run with brand new pads at mammoth when they gave way. Half way down the first run they were gone and I was going about 50mph down kamikazi run into a turn. The pads were down to metal on metal. I have nothing good to say about them. DO NOT BUY THESE PADS, THEY WILL KILL YOU!
