from Melbourne, Australia Date Reviewed: May 3, 2004 Strengths: Impressive power compared to stock hayes pads. Very little burnish time.Lever feel to me, is somewhat softer than stock which i like. Good modulation after the impressive bite. Weaknesses: Wear rate is much faster than stock pads, but is to be expected of a compound that gives you more power. Supplied retaining clips were much weaker than those supplied with the stock pads. So much so that i could freely pull the pads in and out without any resistance. Just make sure they stay in, swap the clips or give them a gentle bend. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: always finding another one! Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: Stock hayes pads Bike Setup: EBC reds front. Stock hayes back.
