from Lismore, NSW, AU Date Reviewed: February 8, 2010 Strengths: Amazing stopping power due to huge surface area, finned cooling, special compound. Awesome durability. Weaknesses: Fiddle to get it on first time and line up against rim. The convex/concave washers too a bit to understand. Squeals a bit when first on, don't they all?

from San Anselmo, CA Date Reviewed: August 22, 2005 Strengths: Considering all types of conditions, probably the best pads I have ever used. Excellent power in dry and especially wet conditions. I like to ride in the rain down steep, switch-back roads. Decent modulation, more predictable than other pads, especially in severe conditions. As long as they are set up correctly from the get-go, ignore them, they willseemingly last forever. I have had them on my current bike for about 5-6 years, and there is plenty of rubber left. If you can find any 1980's-style Campy shoes, and "Mathauser C" pads, they slip right in for a road bike. I had some Mathauser pads left over from when I owned a bike shop (over 13 years ago!), and they still work better than any other pads (Dura-Ace brakes). Weaknesses: No longer made, so availability is an issue. They are not curved to fit the rim, so just be careful (as you normally should be) in mounting them to the brakes-no sweat! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: My bike shop Similar Products Used: Kool-stop, Dura-Ace, Delta, and others... Bike Setup: Merlin, Dura-Ace, Mavic, etc.

from Vancouver Date Reviewed: January 22, 2002 Strengths: Very grippy. Turns a sidepull into a canti. Turns a canti into a V-brake. Turns a V-brake into a disc. Pads wear very well. Does not turn rims into a black gooey mess in the rain, like Shimano pads. Do not pick up chunks of rim material like other pads. Weaknesses: Have to be toed-in slightly to prevent squeal if you have flexible brake arms. This is more a weakness of the brake arms. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Jumping Pound Ridge Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $15.00 Similar Products Used: Everything. Koolstop, Shimano pads, Diacompe, Campy & Modolo road pads, all kinds of retro stuff. Bike Setup: 5 bikes: 2 x road, commuter, 2 x MTB.
