For what its worth, when i first picked up my brand new bike, it obviously came with ligit Avid pads, within 2 weeks I had to take my bike back to shop cos the braking didnt feel good and squeeled like a sonovabitch ( i was a noob back then so didnt try replace fettle the pads myself) anyways, i was shown the pad and it was just metal not a piece of pad in sight, and the shop still got me to buy new ones. After that I bought from bikefridge (Discobrakes) and have just put my last set in after 2 years. I recently bought a pack of 4 superstar brake pads, so i will let you know how the get on. I actually have a pack in my bag and there is no CE number! |
