Not used but ready when I need to - bought through recommendation of the "Ribble Cyclist" on YouTube - when looking for alternatives to original fittings - he rates Gorilla very highly through actual usage. Great price.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the kind reveiw, We noticed you purchased sintered which is a full metal compound and can be very noisy on brakes if not set up correctly especially if you have been running organic on the rotors. best suited compound for road and gravel are Semi-metalllic or Ceramic if you want quiet braking performance get in contact with us and we can upgrade you free of charge if you like
