I have Quad QMD-5s fitted to my winter hack. With 203mm rotors fitted, they work pretty well for a cable actuated brake.

The pads on the rear need replaced and I bought some of the 'Quad System' pads from Discobrakes but they didn't fit which was a shame as they were sintered. (They look the same as mine but they're slightly bigger with a large backing plate)

I've sent them back and I'm on the lookout for another 2 pairs. I know you can get A2Z pads that fit and genuine Quad pads which seem pricey for what they are.

I have also seen these other ones (Fibrax and EBC) on CRC and on ebay and would like to know if they fit the QMD-5 brake before I buy either of them. (I couldn't get a definitive answer from CRC)

Does anyone have any ideas on decent brake pads for these brakes?

Gracias. 8)
