Review by uniquebobcBrake pads arrived quickly and exactly as described.
by uniquebobcDaily CommuterOmak, WAThese brake pads are use on the parking brake (rear wheel) of my recumbent trike. Therefore, they will not get as much wear as normal brake pads. I expect them to last a very long time-barring any chipping or damage. They are very easy to install.

Review by GDSYou can do it
by GDSPortland, ORDon't stress about changing your own disc brake pads-it's pretty easy. I recommend the organics, but it's true the metal sintered do last longer. Order a set, watch a YouTube video and give it a try.

Review by OaklandBikerExcellent Productby OaklandBikerOakland, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I use the organic pads as I find the quieter than the metal pads. I have avid mechanical brakes and I would only use avid pads. Other brands are not as good.

Review by RonGood Brakingby RonCompetitive RacerAnn ArborThe BB7 pads are a little difficult to change, but that's really no criticism of the pads themselves. The work well and are long lasting in our flat area of the country. I generally prioritize quiet brakes with good stopping power over durability since I don't mind doing my own maintenance.

Review by Kathy WInstalled and working.by Kathy WRedlands, CAWith the bike shop all backed up with bikes to repair I decided to try to replace my own brake pads. I watched a couple youtube videos to figure out how to do it and all went fine. I now have new brake pads and feel empowered to do more of my own repairs and maintenance.

Review by TAEvansEasy to swap out in the fieldby TAEvansCycling EnthusiastHendersonville, TNAs a roadie, I have little experience with disk brakes. These are my first. I was impressed by how remarkably easy one can change them out in the field. I carry a spare set on all my multi-day tours.

Review by Karl YYou'll never go back to caliper brakes againby Karl YCycling EnthusiastPortlandia1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.I use Avid JuicyBB7 Disk Brake Pads on my Volagi Liscio & Trek Portland. I can break with much more finesse i.e. don't over or under brake. Perfect on wet Portland streets. Also a big plus on a huge downhill run where caliper brakes are smoking and overheating the rims, the disk brakes have no probs.
