shipped fast but dont make the same mistake did, damn amazon grouped two different sets of brake pads together and now im stuck with some pads i cant use on my model, $9 flushed down the toilet.Lesson learned, double check groups items as they my not be for the same model

Pads seem to be on-par with OEM Shimano pads at a lower cost. Use them primarily for wet weather riding so they wear out pretty fast but similar to the Shimano pads in that regard.

I've installed these pads so far on Tektro Miras (mechanical) and Shimano BL-M395s (hydraulic).Experience with them installed on the Tektros on a Fuji CX bike for six mile road commuting daily:Quieter.Now have bite (the OEMs would not lock up even at full grip)Noticeable consistent stopping power.Modulation is smooth and consistent.Pads do well on 1/4 to 1/2 mile road descents.Experience with these pads installed on my Shimanos on a GT Sensor Comp 9r for weekend warrior trailriding and a weekly XC short circuit race:Slightly more braking power in wet and dry.As quiet as the OEMs.Overall, if I didn't know the pads were replaced, the performance differences are not discernible.However:I am still evaluating durability and wear but these pads are as good as any Shimano stock disc pads I've installed but for significantly less money. I have already purchased more of these pads.

My new electric bike (juiced cross current Air) came with the Shimano M375 mechanical brakes. Even after they were bed in and readjusted the stopping power left a bit to be desire for such a fast and heavy bike. I knew that semi-metallic pads would give me more bit as I have use them for my car before so I decided to give the TruckerCo pads a try. After a quick bed in and adjustment I gain at least 30-40% maximum stopping power and a much more confident initial bite when I apply the brakes. At less than $10 a piece they might be the more inexpensive solution to more stopping power.

They stop my bike just fine, but are incredibly noisy and got torn up much more quickly than other pads

Good for the money

Quality pads! been using them for years

Work ok.
