4PCS Premium Bike Brake Pads, Professional Mountain Bicycle V-Brake Pads, Bike Brake Blocks Kit

Perfect replacement for Shimano 105's

Quality materials and good design went into these brake pads. They're working better than a more expensive name brand I used before. It seems I bought one of the last of the blue, but I'll be buying my brake pads from here from now on.

Does the job. Not exceptional but good.

Okay, I got a hold of a 1987 Bridgestone 10 speed this spring and I fixed it up to ride around. Originally I put the old style 40mm gray block brake pads on. They lasted about three months until the face sheared off of one of the shoes. I replaced them with these pads. After a couple of weeks of riding so far so good. I like the fact that they are longer and give me more braking surface on the wheels. Also they stop the bike really well. The back wheel was a little noisey but I was able to toe the pads in and it's perfectly quiet now. The pads are supposed to be replaceable but I think this is just a gimmick, I haven't seen any info on how to get any replacement pads.

This is my second 5 star review for this product. I have been using these brake pads on all 5 of our bikes for at least 3 years. They install easily, never squeak, have good stopping power, and last longer than any other pad I have tried including cool stop, and shimono. We have two 20” folding bikes, two road, and a cross bike. They are pricey but well worth the money. I have bought them repeatedly from Amazon.

These pad holders are inexpensive. But so far they are working. Some comments have stated that they can't be adjusted. Not so. The problem I had with them is that the carbon pads that I wanted to put in them did not fit. I had to "modify" the pads to get them to slide in. Don't know if this is because the pads were too thick or these pad holders are too small. In any case, I got the pads installed and the holders mounted on the bike. The finish of the silver pads are not campy quality but for the price what do you expect? Can't comment on the pads that came with these holders. They appear fine and slide in and out no problem.

I use my bike to commute to work daily so I needed solid brakes that perform well under all weather conditions. When it came time to replace my brakes I shopped around and read reviews looking for the best and I settled on these.Installation was a breeze and took all of 5 minutes. One important trick is to squeeze the brakes to the rim before you tighten to ensure proper alignment. I've had no issues with squeaking or noise. The best part of these brakes is that they consist of an aluminum holder which you can easily swap out the rubber pads. It comes with a second set of salmon replacement pads. As my other brakes / bikes come up for maintenance I plan to replace all brakes with these.

I purchased a fixed gear bike which was suffering from brake pads that were so low quality that they were delaminating my aluminum rim...the flecks of aluminum were getting caught in the pad and scratching the rim and making a horribly grinding gravel noise when in use. At first I was a little skeptical about this purchase having never heard of the brand. But I am very pleased with this purchase so far. My only advice would be not to over tighten the hex nut. I almost stripped one. The pads are surprisingly smooth as butter, nearly silent, and bring my fixed gear to a quick uneventful stop. I cannot speak to longevity, but they make inserting new cartridges a snap. Also know the gold is slightly bronze... at least to my eye. The pad length is approx 55mm long and fits my rim which is 10mm wide. (Note: since switching to these rims, the brake grind issue with brake aluminum depositing in the pads has completely gone away. So I believe the main problem was the rock hard inexpensive pads more so than the rims themselves.)

I bought these pads as the reviews seemed to give the impression of decent quality and good value for money, however, I wasn't impressed. The bolts sheared when installing from tightening with an allen key, the rubber of the pads were too soft and spongy for decent stopping and they were incredibly thick. I've purchased much better pads over the years for a similar price.

Do the job. I had very squeaky brakes when adding these. I narrowed it down to these pads after cleaning rims and trusting wheels.

Braking wise, these matched my ultegra pads, however they did only seem to last a quarter of the time. that said, they were also nearly a quarter of the price, so by that ruling, an ideal temporary replacement.
