Excellent

Posted on 26 February 2015 about Sintered Disc Brake Pads by Rob W Hill

Brilliant pads. I have them in 3 of my bikes. In saint and slx calipers. I swear by the sintered. Noise... who cares, not that I noticed. Used these in the alps, best pads I have used. Last well, consistent in the wet. Better than shimano originals and pricey aftermarket goodridge! The sintered pads probably cause the rotor to wear a bit faster, I had one go a bit thin, but so is life! the stoppin

Brilliant, But Not Great For Hope E4

Posted on 19 February 2015 about Disc Brake Adaptor by Brakenbury93

I have bought a few superstar adapters over time, all have served me well and done as they say, relatively light and great value. One of the adapters I have is type 8 203mm pm-pm, recently I bought a hope tech 3 E4 brake for the front, although the tech 3 lever obviously made no difference to the adapter, the Hope E4 caliper was a very close fit, so close that the outside pad caught on the adapter

As It Says On The Tin

Bought a few years ago and they're still going, they're bolts, they're red, not a great deal more about them to be honest.

Best Pads I've Ever Used

Posted on 19 February 2015 about 4 Pack Kevlar Disc Brake Pads by Brakenbury93

These pads have some great stopping power and seem to last forever, just bought some new brakes and I'll be ordering some of these pads up soon to fit new brakes, not even ridden the standard pads on it yet. Great value for money too.

Great Way To Get A Bit More Bite

Posted on 19 February 2015 about 5 Layer Braided Hose (3m length) by Brakenbury93

Bought about a year or so ago, added a bit more bite to my brakes which was great, only issue i had was the brake fluid managed to get between the inner and outer linings, darkening the red colour in the hoses, looked great, but never great to have brake fluid where it shouldn't be.

Great Looking, Easy To Round

Posted on 19 February 2015 about Disc Brake Hose Fitting Kit Alloy by Brakenbury93

These fittings certainly look the part, but they're very easy to round off, although that's to be expected from aluminium. Unfortunately for me that meant re using the old ones on some of the fittings.

Does The Job.

For what you pay its a decent bit of kit, seems pretty solid although haven't had much riding with it yet. No stepped roller but still works fine after a bit of adjustment.

The Braking Performance Is Poor

Posted on 9 February 2015 about Kevlar Disc Brake Pads by Hallo

The braking performance is poor! La potenza della frenata é pessima! Die Bremsleitung ist sehr schlecht!
