Hydraulic Disc Brake Pads with Cooling Fin, 2Pair Bicycle Brake Pads for SRAM XO XX Avid Elixir 1 3 5 7 9 R CR ER DB1 DB3 DB5 and Nutt Oil Brake

I had some worn-out brake pads that were starting to make those horrible squealing sounds on my mountain bike. Decided to give these a try and I'm glad I did. Fitting them was simple enough and the braking difference is noticeable - much smoother, sharper stop power. They seem to handle heat pretty well too, no fade even on long downhill sections and they're surprisingly quiet. I'd say these are a worthy upgrade, especially for more aggressive riding.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a casual enthusiast, these brake pads are a worthwhile investment that will take your cycling adventures to the next level.

These are certainly budget pads but the compound seems ok, claimed to be ceramic which is usually a touch pricier than organic or metal pads, but dont expect them to be the top performing. It's fine though and the pad thickness is good so life should be ok in normal use.Overall these seem to be well enough made. They come with new springs but not the new securing bolt/pin (though thats common on SRAM after-market pads, OEM ones come with the bolt).The packaing is mixed card and plastic, so better than full plastic.For the 2 pairs though of unknown brand budget pads, the price of £20 (May 24) I think is a bit too high, especially when you can get high quality aftermarket pads from some online bike uber specialists for similar prices. IMO £16-17 ish would be the max value for these IMO, hence with the average qaulity 3.5 stars.

Appreciate the heat sync, but it has one fin too many to fit on my DB1 calipers.I modified the pads by filing off the frontmost fin and they slot in perfectly now. Without doing this they wouldn't sit far enough in the calipers for the securing pin to locate.In general the pads seem good quality and work as well as similar priced pads I've had.I've not experienced any fade so it seems the heat sync and ceramic pad material do their job.No sign of overheating or pad material becoming detached.Overall I'm happy with them aside from the very slight modification I needed to make to suit my specific model of caliper.

“Hydraulic Disc Brake Pads with Cooling Fin, 2Pair Bicycle Brake Pads” price when reviewed £19.95Given 4 stars as they fit and seem good, but have not yet been tested riding. These brake pads look well made and come as a full set of front and rear pads (4 pads per pack), which is really handy. They fit nicely in my Avid Elixir 5 brakes and the heatsink sits nicely ventilated above the caliper. Pretty happy so far, good value.

I can't honestly review the quality after using as they do not fit in my Shimano 105 hydraulic brake system. I thought they were the correct size, but they're larger than the pads in my BR-R7070 flat mount caliper. The pads look good and very similar; they're just larger. If you have my system, look elsewhere.

These do seem better than my previous, stock metallic pads. They are much quieter so far but have good grab, even in the dirt / mud riding on my Okai Panther scooter with stock NUTT Hydraulic brakes. These also have the cooling fins, similar to Shimano XTR or SRAM X01. They don't have the same amount of pad material as those do, and will wear out faster... but they are also half the price of those! Plus it is harder to install new, thick Shimano/SRAM pads, these thinner pads are easier to install!

I've been experimenting with changing up brakes and brake components on my ebike. I seem to get about a season out of the semi-metalic pads like the ones that were stock on my Nutt brakes. These ceramic ones were easy to swap in for the old worn ones without modification and are nice and grippy without making much noise. I'm hoping that the fins, combined with floating rotors, replacing the one-piece stock rotors, will provide good heat dissipation and that they last the season or longer. I will update this review in after I've put a few hundred miles on them.
