Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
These are OK i suppose, especially if like me you're replacing pads you've neglected for a decade or more.
Unfortunately on a 26" or 700c rim the curvature is too... curved. Which means it's difficult to align to get grip over the entire surface area without bumping the tire or leaving a bit overhanging. I suspect this negatively impacts stopping power as well, regardless of the description making like it's a good thing.
I think these were made for 24" rims or possibly smaller.
Also, today i went out for the first time in the rain and the brakes squealed loud enough to attract attention. I hate that noise.
The brakes were brakes, however, they were only front brakes and very slim. Could not use them at all, I'm sure someone could, just not me4 sets . Why would I need 4 sets of front brakes? It didn't say this in the info. Oh well, live and learn!
