Date Reviewed: May 6, 2002 | | Favorite Trail: | Anything steep but rideable | | Duration Product Used: | More than 3 years | | Price Paid: |
$8.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance when they have them or online | | Strengths: | Very sticky but modulate well. Don't have a groove in them to hold stuff to gouge your rims. Quiet. Great in dry or wet. Great price. | | Weaknesses: | Don't last forever, but what pads do? Hard to find locally--when a store does have them in stock I buy a season's worth. | | Similar Products Used: | XTR pads-- stop reasonably well but make that annoying
"sssshhhhhhh" that drives me crazy. What's up with that?
Ritchey--stop better than XTR but have that groove that traps crud and more expensive than Aztec. | | Bike Setup: | 2000 Gary Fisher Sugar 2 frame built up with full XTR (XT cranks--I need that 22 granny!) | | Bottom Line: | I used Aztec cantilever pads back in the day and loved them. Now I use "Aztec Shimano style V-brake replacement
pads" (like it says on the package) in my XTR V-brakes and love them as well. If there are other pads out there that I haven't tried that are as quiet and have the same or more stopping power as these I'd like to know. I ride about 700 singletrack miles a year, love to climb, don't bomb recklessly downhill (so, yeah, I do ride my brakes more than the next guy} and two sets of pads last me a year. Try them. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
