Awesome brakes. Switched up from Shimano branded resin to these ceramic ones. Great (and certainly better) stopping power in the both the dry and the wet although slightly noisier than resin but not to cause me any bother.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your new ceramic brake pads and that they have improved your stopping power. We apologize for any noise they may cause, but we're happy to hear it's not causing you any trouble. Thanks for choosing Gorilla Brakes! Happy riding!
