Have had a on my road bike a couple months. The fit and finish are fine. Threads on the bolts seemed good. Not screaming primo (which would cost several TIMES as much), but certainly seem good quality. I got the fake carbon pattern - it looks nice on the bike, not cheap, or garish, pretty subtle. I like the look better than the chrome that these replaced.At first I was not so impressed with the feel and they were a tad noisy. Once they wore in though, I'm very happy with them. Now they are quiet and not squeaky at all with just a reassuring hiss when I brake, even hard.I've recently come to road biking from MTB and have had disk brakes on MTB for almost 20y ... so I don't have a lot of recent experience, but compared to way back, I think these are "better" than the feel of caliper breaks I had way back when.Stopping power feels on par with the shimano pads that were fairly worn (but not to the "replace" stage from wear) and had some grit in them (why I replaced) when I got current road bike. Bike is a used specialized allez, a little older but multiple upgraded components, from LBS. They certainly don't feel worse to me than the Shimano. THey feel like they grip well and are responsive but not sticky when dry. I rarely ride in rain/water but the 2x I have, they performed as I expected a wet rim brake to perform - no disappointment, just pulled a tad harder and got what I needed. No squeaks when wet.I can't tell how long these last in comparison to others yet ... but so far wear does not seem excessive to me but my rides are for exercise, not commuting, and not in traffic, so I don't brake very much!

Looks very solid. I bought the carbon body style. Looks nice on my trek.

These are great Brakes! Good value for half of what you're paying for Shimano and other name brands. Easy to install, just remember to install them with the fins facing up.

The “carbon fiber” design definitely looks good and the were easy to install. No squeaking brakes and a good feel and bite early on. Strong braking initially. After 8 weeks of city commuting (~250 miles/~400k total) there is significant wear and the rear pads started squeaking. Slightly adjusted the rear pads and looks like I may get another 8 weeks of safe riding.

Although it's made in China, it's really good quality! I went for 30mph(45kph) on a -10% and it brakes better than my old shimano set. The bolting is really good and you can adjust for toe in or out. If you brake hard, it'll lock up the back wheel. Very effective!

Added this set to my fixie with old pads. Difference was immediately noticed. Front wheel does squeak, might be I got new rims on new pads. Sort of died down, but noise still present when brake is pressed heavily, like braking going downhill. Besides that, good for me. Ordered a second pair for future pad swaps. Be careful not to over torque. 😂

I used these new brake pads on my old roadie. I knew I had a long down hill ride coming and wanted better brake pad than I had. These worked fine. On the downhill run there were numerous places with water running across the road. "Riding" the brakes a little as I entered the water kept the rim from getting too wet and I had brakes when I exited the water. I think I'll order a replacement set of pads to replace these at the end of the season.

The package has a rather laughable translation on it. Said they were for disc brakes, but they aren't (seller did point this out). Also it says they have a high coefficient of static friction. (I believe brakes need kinetic friction???)Anyhow, installation took all of five minutes. Went outside to bed them in, so I rode rather quickly (25mph or so) and I (naively) grabbed a handful of brake. Rear end locked up and I damn nearly went over the bars! They aren't kidding when they claim improvement over OEM. I guess their coefficient of kinetic friction is also "good".Only minor complaint is that their spherical washer adjustment doesn't seem to do much. Upon tightening the bolts, the pads lose all toe-in, toe-out, and roll adjustment. So currently they only contact towards the part of my rim closest to the tire (furthest out). Makes me wonder what they'll be like when they have full contact patch! However this lack of adjustment doesn't mean they squeak, they're perfectly silent.If further riding and usage changes their squeakiness or effectiveness, I'll update this review. But for now, they're amazing, especially for the price.
