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!

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
