I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Bike Brake Pads Set by Alritz, and I must say, they have made a significant difference in my cycling adventures. As an avid cyclist, I value performance and safety, and these brake pads have truly exceeded my expectations, prompting me to share my personal experience and award them a well-deserved five-star rating.One of the standout features of these brake pads is their remarkably quiet operation. Crafted from high-quality nitrile rubber, they are not only gentle on the rim but also effectively minimize the annoying noise often associated with braking. With every application of the brakes, I am greeted with a smooth and tranquil ride, enhancing the overall enjoyment of my cycling experience.Safety is paramount when it comes to brakes, and Alritz has taken this aspect seriously. The brake pads feature a thoughtful "LIMIT" marking, serving as a helpful reminder to replace them when necessary. I appreciate the durability of the raised rubber text used for this purpose, as it remains intact even when exposed to rain and soil, ensuring that I stay proactive in maintaining my safety on the road.Durability is another impressive aspect of these brake pads. Based on reliable experimental data, they have proven to withstand an impressive number of brake engagements. In comparison to ordinary brake pads that may last for only a fraction of the distance, the Alritz brake pads offer an extended service life, providing peace of mind during my rides. The arc design ensures reliability both on smooth kilometers and challenging uphill terrains, allowing me to focus on the journey ahead.Adverse weather conditions can pose challenges during cycling, but Alritz brake pads have successfully tackled this issue. The inclusion of twill drain boxes on the pads enhances their performance, particularly in rain, snow, dust storms, and thunderstorms. These drain boxes not only improve water drainage but also serve as wear indicators, helping me keep track of the condition of the brake pads with ease.I appreciate the compatibility of these brake pads with various V-brake systems, including popular brands such as SRAM, SHIMANO, and TEKTRO. It ensures a hassle-free installation process, allowing me to effortlessly replace my brake pads when needed. The set includes three pairs of 70mm pads, sufficient for both the front and back wheels. The left and right distinguishing signs further contribute to the convenience and ease of use.In conclusion, the Alritz Bike Brake Pads Set has undoubtedly enhanced my cycling experience. Their impressive quietness, durability, and reliable performance in different weather conditions have made a notable difference in my rides. As a cyclist who values both performance and safety, I highly recommend these brake pads to fellow enthusiasts who seek a smoother and more enjoyable journey on two wheels.

These pads have a strong grip and are well made

worked beautifully

I got these for a cyclocross bike I was fixing up last winter to use as a secondary bike and to try off-road riding with this fall and winter. During the spring and summer I rode on the road (typically 2 rides a week on this bike, 15-20 miles per ride) and this fall I've been doing gravel riding (1 or 2 rides a week for about an hour each) and just did a 'cross race last weekend, all rides using these pads. Over the summer they did wear down some, but held up okay overall. Braking performance was okay initially, though it decreased noticeably as they wore. They however did not last long at all after I started riding off road and needed to use the brakes more. The back set wore out first and I replaced with the spare set included in the package, but that new set only lasted a couple of weeks. Before the 'cross race Saturday they still had a decent amount of material left on them, but both the front and rear set wore down to literally nothing in little over a lap... stopping ability became essentially nonexistent, as you would imagine. I'm sure they were never meant for this type of use and conditions, but I am still surprised how quickly they wore out. Even without the cross race thrown in, they wouldn't have been usable for much longer.Overall, if your intended purpose is light road riding, commuting, rail trails, or other similar types of riding I do think these will work just fine, but they'll probably still wear out faster than name brands and the braking isn't as good as higher quality pads. If your intention is more competitive riding, mountain biking, or anything where you need to rely on the brakes heavily, I can't recommend them. I don't fault them for not holding up in how I used them, but at most can only give them 3 stars as a cheap set of brakes with "just okay" performance at their best.

Perfect!! Grips my tires perfectly
