They're £15 for the kit with 4 sets of pads which seems like a good deal, has anyone tried them?

Bargain if the compounds work well.
Seem to recall a little hate on here for Superstar pads though

Am tempted to try these, but don't think they can fit my brakes
Does anyone know if they will fit Shimano saint m810 calipers?
Would be the s4 but can't see how you would actually fit them

Twice the price and will be no different to standard pads.

edit: I take that back as you do get four pairs, bet there still no different to standard though.

Worth a punt I'd say just to see how compare to their other pads.

Oh and my thread was started a few seconds after this one, forgot to delete it!

Dog - why no different to standard?
Shimano make these for Icetech and downhill to disperse heat build up faster so it was only a matter of time before someone copied them. (at roughly a third of the cost!)

Quite hammy. That's a great price. Compounds are as existing. I bought a set earlier this year since I'd been troubled by a bit of overheating on some fast and steep, slamming into slow and even steeper descents local to me and they've neatly dealt with the problem. They can be a bit chattery on slow stuttery sections, but as soon as speeds go up its lost in the noise of ones brain rattling around.

Should have said no noticeable difference to standard.

I'm cynical.

Doesn't seem to be working for me, still shows up as £30, I'm guessing I'm too late? 🙁

Yep, the clues in the code. It was for the 12th December only.

I bought a set in the 35% off deal and I'm very pleased from my initial ride. Great value, well made and look cool, but I can't comment on whether they are as fade free as the Uberbike ones they replaced yet.

Gotcha, you snooze you lose in this case! My pads still have loads of life left yet so I'm in no rush.

I'm sure they'll be put on offer again at some point, I'll just have to keep an eye out. 🙂
