Surprisingly bad. Horrible to bed in.

Definitely reccomend for extreme use or downhill stopping power. I replaced the resin brake pads previous owner installed on the rear brakes. Sometimes they are a little noisy...butI don't care aslonh as I can effectively stop. Downhill ru s and overheating pads require these. These also have outlasted resin pads on my mountain bike. No more heat soaking and lack of stopping power.

I use these to replace the dish brakes on an old mountain bike and a gravel bike. One was Shimano 105, the other one was Shimano SLX. In both cases, I noticed no performance decline.

Good value basic disc pads. I have been using these for some time in a mountain bike. They work well and I haven’t had any noise issues with squeak. They fitted first time and braking power was as with previous oem pads.Seem to be lasting well but early days..

These installed super easy. Fixed my noisy brakes and now I can easily do anything I want. Great product I love them. Can not be beat unless you spend a small fortune on them.

Happy with the braking performance, no squealing, fit the brakes perfectly. They only lasted half as long as OEM resin pads. Great for the price but not for the long haul. If you are just putting these on a townie then go for it. If you are doing serious off road riding spend the money on OEM pads.

I really like the way these pads perform in regards to braking. Smooth, quiet, and they don’t lock up as quickly as the metal pads I was using before. Snap easily in place on the install and I can afford to have spares around at the price I paid for them. I don’t know how long they’ll last as of yet but I can get 5 sets of these vs what I was paying before.

Update, several rides after initial review: OK these suns o’ guns are squeakier than normal, even when dry. Even so, if they last 70% as long as Shimano pads, I will likely purchase again. I sort of feel the noise, discernible during medium-hard slowing, for downhill switchbacks, for example, can be seen as a benefit to alert others. I’m pretty used to them.Initial review:For the price ($10!), I am very satisfied with these resin brake pads. I ride a Spec Stumpjumper 29er on Colorado Front Range trails in dry to variable conditions (some snow, some mud slop).I took 5 minutes to bed my brakes—wet one set of the brakes at a time with water, get up to 15-20 mph, then brake to a near stop without locking up brakes, repeat several times; then do the same for the other set.I have put over 100 trail miles on these pads, and they are working just fine. I have heard a little more squeal from them than my last pads, but I have been riding thru some springtime snowmelt, so I am in no way concerned.Buy them, bed them in, ride them. If I notice significant deterioration or short life span, I’ll be back to update.

Twice as cheap...I'd say 70-80% as effective for braking. I just degreased and isopropanoled the brakes about 1/4 worn, maybe 300-400 miles on them. Hopefully that will help. They are squeaky (not horrible, but not normal either) and modulation isn't very good. They are not bad brake pads, they just are not very good. They actually look OK so I'll keep them on until I can't stand them anymore. Ordered replacement SLX/XT pads to replace these later, and then I'll probably put them on my casual bike. These for sure are not for DH/enduro.

I've only done three rides with these on my rear brake around Durango, CO - for reference, down Skyline, down the "Secret Trail" and down Sick Bird (likely soon-to-be-RIP at the time of typing this, thank you BLM) on Animas Mtn.They're not noisy like metallics and seem to perform as well as the Shimano G02S pads that were slowly but surely putting me in the poorhouse. Obviously with just three rides I can't speak to longevity but it seems unlikely they won't outperform the Shimanos in terms of cost vs time lapsed, given the low initial expense.Truly I need to get rid of my SLX brakes which are ultimately the problem, and I'm just trying to feed them a low-cost (and oh-so-regular) diet of pads until I can upgrade.
