Easy to fit work well. A bit noisy when breaking but still bedding them in.
Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the review - glad to hear they were easy to fit and working well
Just to help on the noise side, a bit of sound during bedding-in is quite common, but it’s not actually the brake pads themselves that create noise. Squeal is usually caused by small inconsistencies in the braking system, such as:
• Slight contamination on the rotor or pads
• Pistons not moving evenly (one sticking slightly)
• A small amount of air in the system
• Caliper alignment being slightly off
As the pads bed in and a proper transfer layer forms on the rotor, things usually quieten down. If the noise continues after a few rides, it’s worth giving the system a quick check over even a minor tweak can make a big difference. Noise is vibration resonance.
If you need a hand, feel free to drop us a message or give our workshop a call and we’ll talk you through it

Can’t complain at smooth grippy pads no squealing would recommend
Thanks for the great feedback really glad you’re enjoying the smooth feel and grip 🙌
It’s also great to hear you’ve had no squeal. Just to add a bit of workshop insight for anyone reading brake noise isn’t actually caused by the pads themselves. Squeal usually comes from small vibrations in the braking system, often linked to setup (like piston balance, rotor condition, alignment, or contamination). The pads just transfer that vibration.
When everything’s set up correctly, as it sounds like yours is, the system runs quiet and consistent
Appreciate the recommendation if you ever need anything, we’re here to help
Very good break pads.
