Bolt Bike Brake Pads (Bag of 4)

my son's 18" bike came with hand brakes which is all he used. They wore out so had to get a new set and these looked exactly like what he had, nothing fancy just brake pads with 1 screw. So I gave them a shot and they work well. They didn't go on 100% flat but the brakes did engage and as he has worn them down they have evened out some and now the full brake pad on front and bake both engage instead of just front/back of a few of the pads. This may have to do with alignment of C clamp brakes but I didn't move them a whole lot and was careful to have them aligned best I could before putting these on. Either way they have been working and wearing well and still on 1st replacement set. As they weren't expensive worth the money as they didn't break and work.

I restore a lot of vintage and have used these for years. Nice and soft, so they grab well. Don't know about longevity because I flip bikes, but longevity is a VERY minor concern, stopping is major. Good price. Highly recommended.

restoring an early 70's Raleigh 10 speed. Original pads were rock hard. These were bargain priced at less than $1 a piece.One of my wheels is aluminum and these pads work well on it. The other wheel is steel and they don't work nearly as well on it. Not sure why the difference, but it's striking how different they are. I noticed Shimano sells these style pads for a MUCH higher price; perhaps they would work better on steel?Also, these pads are square-cut, so there's only a small contact patch when installed as received. Fortunately, it was easy to grind them down a bit to match the taper of the wheels.

They were relatively easy to install. (Well, as easy as any brake pad, and adjusting toe-in took some effort.), and they stop my bike very well.I'm glad that they include the washer and nut.The installation fit is good.I'm happy with those brake pads.

I'm late with this, but the item came on time and was exactly as stated. Worked like a charm for the bike I had to replace them on.

These pads work very well on a smooth surface, chrome plated wheel on the front of my bike, but surprisingly do not work at all on the anodized (replacement) wheel on the back of my bike which has a slightly rough contact surface - the pads rapidly wear and do not provide any braking power.Bottom line - if you have a smooth surface wheel, 5 stars. If you have a wheel with a bit of a rough surface interface with the pads, 1 star, they will not work at all.

These brake pads work for me, no noise and stop well.

Cheap and easy to install. Square shape doesn’t allow solid contact with wheel rim. Will eventually wear down and create an angle. Not made to last. But should manage till end of school year. That’s all I need. Get what you pay for.
