xtr v brakes,mavic ceramic rims,and xtr ceramic pads=awesome braking power!! these pads are quite simply the best for ceramic rim users!! this is yet another product that nobody can touch the big s for!! quite pricey but worth it!!
In conjunction with XTR V-brakes, these pads give fork-snapping brick-wall effect braking. They wear out pretty quickly but at only £6.99 they are cheaper than new rims or discs :-)
These worked really well for commuting, where very little braking is involved. However, after one decent off road trip (25km Marin Trail) it would seem that some trail monsters ate half my pads, rite down to the metal! Either that or they disintegrated at an alarming rate!
