Miles RacingBrake Pads for SHIMANO Disc Brakes in Road, MTB, E-MTB, E-Road, E-Bike, Touring Bicycles | Semi-Metallic for XC, Light Enduro | Sintered for Steep Hill, Freeride | Organic for City, Urban

Wasn't sure what to expect. Got one set of these to try as a TRP DH-R Evo replacement pad. These are AWSOME. Fit perfectly, bedded in strait away, felt no different than the TRP's and provided tons of stopping power... best of all, they lasted exactly the same amount of kms as the TRP's. I got right about 750 kms on both. Zero complaints and about half the cost of either a TRP or Shimano option. I have ordered a bunch more for my personal inventory so I alway have a set on hand and ready to go. Would give 10 stars if amazon would let me :)

My new Saint brakes are awesome except.....The OEM Saint brake pads need to be used much more aggressively than I ride most of the time. I decided to try these Miles Semi-metallic pads because I love the feel of the Saint levers and calipers but I don't ride hard enough to keep the OEM Shimano pads from glazing. The Miles pads really work well. Modulation for my style of riding is much improved with the Miles brake pads. The Miles pads are quiet and smooth and no glazing. Their stopping power is great and doesn't change. Very happy with these brake pads!

Like: Increase bite and thicker than originalsDislike: A tad noisier when wet

I bought these to replace the metallic compound brake pads on my electric bike because I wanted semi metallic for more bite. My issue with these Miles pads is how thin the pad material is. I've had the metallic pads on my bike for almost 2 years and they have the same amount of pad left of them as this brand new miles pads come with. I'll update this review after I install the pads, break them in and test them out.

Fairly quiet, bed in rapidly, good braking action. I plan to buy more.
