Review:when i recieved the pads i was very excited and as soon as i cut the parcel open i had set the pads up square and was off to ride.
the noise was deafening and they where gripping with just a slight squeeze of the lever. i decided to do some backwheeling and landing as hard as i could right on the edge of the wall to test just how well these could hold. i was amazed these pads just werent letting go. i was doing bigger gaps and backwheels instantly as these just held.
they made me much more confident and improved my riding. and this kind of performance wasnt just a one off these pads were locking and gripping every single time i did a maneuver.
at first i was worried about them wearing down fast because i had a grind, although it is pretty light one at that. but no, they have shown microscopic signs of wear.
i advise anyone looking for some new pads to seriously consider these pads as they are definatley the best pads i have rode.
