Review by Geezer BikerReviewed 8/9/2018by Geezer BikerCycling EnthusiastSonoma County, CA1 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great products, great serviceI had never replaced the disc brakes on my Cannondale hydraulic disc brake bike and didn't realize how much they had worn until I experienced the new ones. Easy to install and ordering from BTD is a cinch! I had actually checked several local shops but no one carried them.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/1/2020by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSomerville, MAEasy to install, good stopping powerThis was my first time replacing pads on disc brakes, and it couldn't have been easier. While not strictly necessary, the Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic Piston Press can be a helpful tool to have for this as well.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/8/2019by AnonymousPortland, ORWorks AwesomeI live in a wet climate so when it came time to replace my brake pads I went with the Sintered pads. I've been riding them for about two months now and they're great. Smooth braking, no noise, solid.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/14/2021by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastThe Great Pacific Northwest0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.DIY in the high tech environment.It is tough to my lay eyes to figure out when it is time to replace disc brake pads-on the bike. According to Sram's video you need to remove the pad to measure it; Something best done at home. So, I haven't replace pads myself yet, but I did get the Park micrometer to learn that at this time, there was loads of wear left on my brake pads. I'll remove the present pads every few weeks to measure them and update this review once I actually do the replacement. Side comment; It irks me in the Sram how to video on disc-brake pad replacement, they talk about using a disc brake spacer to open up the calipers before inserting the new pads. Where am I going to find a disc brake spacer? How come they're not readily available? How come one didn't come with the disc brake pads?

Review by MondoReviewed 5/6/2019by MondoCycling EnthusiastSanta Cruz1 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Mediocre performanceExpecting more from SRAM. The Level brake group supplies only mediocre stopping power. They came standard with my SC Tallboy and in a strictly cross country situation they are just ok, but when things start getting steep and deep they cannot keep up. I have an 8 year old TREK outfitted with XT and they have far superior stopping power and a 11 year old custom SS with XTR that blow the SRAM's away. Waiting for something to break on the Level's so I can feel good about swapping out to a better system. And SC Bicycles, come on.....

Review by SteelpedalerReviewed 1/10/2022by SteelpedalerCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR0 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Can't Go Wrong with OEM Disc Brake Pads If your disc brakes and rotors are in good repair and adjustment, these pads will be stop you and do it quietly. Because they're made from an organic compound, they won't wear down your rotors as fast. The downside? In wet conditions, they won't stop your bike as fast as the semi-metallic pads.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 10/3/2020by AnonymousCycling Enthusiastportland, or.faster stops with more progressive feelHopefully won't wear so quickly as standard pads that came with the group. They have a more progressive feel and seem to have better first bite. They are pretty good in rain also.
