Great pads for great wheels.

Ibought an Enve3.4 wheelset from BTD this winter.

The wheels with Chris King hubs are expensive, but the best products usually are.

Combined with these brake pads the wheels stop as well as my good alloy rims, actually better.

Rain or shine! The pads are half the cost of other high end manufacturers pads, and that is nice because Enve could easily sell them for more.

I bought the wheelset , tires, and pads all from BTD . I shop with them because i have had issues with equipment from time to time and they have always been fair.

Thank you for your feedback.

Works great with my Enve wheels.

Had a lot of brake squeal at first, but once I did a better toe-in as per Enve, rarely get a few squeaks now. These Enve wheels with the textured brake track slow down so much better than my old wheels with the smooth brake track. Pads wear about normal for carbon wheel pads.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good stopping power and great pad life.

These pads seem to work very well paired with the ENVE rims. The pad life is VERY good and I have not had any issues with the pads. I will occasionally get some squeal on longer descents but it is very minimal. For the money these pads are a great deal with very good performance.

Thank you for your feedback.

Just okay.

I love my Enve wheels. I have them on a road bike and mountain bike. These pads, however, are not very good. I bought a set of Campy Bora wheels and the pads they came were incredibly responsive, so I bought another pair for my Enve wheels and am much happier with the Campagnolo pads.

Thank you for your feedback.

These pads were very noisy at first but work well and have calmed down after a couple weeks of riding

The only choice

The only option in my mind, they are a huge improvement over the previous model.

A must for using with your textured ENVE carbon wheels, nothing else works

I ride almost daily and over one month did 27 rides, about 900 miles of hilly back roads and over 51,000 feet of climbing and descending. I have to de-glaze the break pad faces weekly. They hold up, other secondary market pads just melt on the ENVE carbon rims, so you have to have these to safely ride with ENVE carbon rim wheels with the textured brake surface. It's a high maintenance brake pad but you have to do it or you don't stop and no one will ride with you because you brakes squeal so bad is you don't de-glaze them with a file or course sand paper and wire brush.

Thank you for your feedback.

Just as good as stock Campy, but for ENVE

Stops the bike. Keeps your warranty. What else do you need?

Work great on my carbon wheels

I needed new break pads as my old ones were getting too stiff. I purchased these and they work fine on my carbon wheels. Good price and so far the product is working well

Cant go wrong with these.

Im on my 5th set.

They are very expensive.

I did go cheap and boy i chucked the substitite straight into the trash.

So i have to bite the bullit and pay.

I've given 4 stars because the cost is the letdown.

Having paid '2500 for my wheels, what's the issue?!

Too expensive.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good braking but noisy until bedded in

I can't compare these to others but they do squeal loudly under hard braking when new. They provide enough braking, so I learned to rear-bias braking force and minimize the noise. The rear didn't seem to squeal as much anyway. As they wore to the limits, they braked better with less noise. They're on Dura-Ace 9000 brakes which have no adjustment for toe-in. You might get some conical bushings and try toe-in, but then they might wear faster to the limit line at the inward point. I recommend letting them bed in using the brake alignment as-is (near parallel).

Thank you for your feedback.

I can stop!

These are great with my enve wheels. The brake track on the enve's make an interesting noise while braking but I feel confident with these. The compound is soft and the wear is pretty quick. Since safety is important i'll be buying these again.
