Review by Oaklandmark

Quiet, good power, modulates well

I have little experience with disc brakes, just this bike, these pads. However, I am very pleased with them, with a couple of exceptions, more about disc in general than these pads. 1) not as easy to check wear as on rim brakes (wheel off & a caliper vs just eyeballing); 2) replacement pads much more expensive than rim pads, and wear much faster, at around 1200 miles vs 3000+ for rim brakes.

That said, they're great. Good stopping in all conditions. Easy to change pads. Don't forget to bed them in first.

Mixing Sram brakes w Shimano Disc
by Anonymous
eugene, OR

I opted to ride shimano discs w my sram brakes to shave a few grams. What learned was you need to ride the sinter pads with them over the organic pads to prevent them from shimming.

Powerful pads
by Semirad

It was time to replace the pads on my gravel bike with SRAM Force brakes. I also lightly sanded and cleaned the rotors with isopropyl alcohol. There were a few squeals while I bedded the pads but since then totally quiet. These pads have more power than the previous organic pads but still have good modulation. I have not yet used them in wet conditions.

Excellent braking, wears quickly

If you are buying these pads, you may, like me, have essentially no choice, as they seem to be the only pads that fit my SRAM road brakes. I also can only speak as a newish user of disc brakes. That said, I am completely delighted with the braking these afford - smooth, quiet, nicely modulated braking every time, in wet or dry. My only gripes, which may be just an issue with disc brakes in general - I do not know- is that they wear pretty fast , are quite expensive, and take some fiddling to assess for wear. I find that in dry conditions, they are shot after 1600 miles, and if I'm riding in the wet, the extra road grit wears them out in as little as 1000 miles. At $xx a pop, that is vastly more than the $xx for a 4000 miles set of rim pads. Plus, unlike rim pads which you can pretty much just glace down and assess, these require you to remove the wheel and pop the pads. Not the end of the world, but still a bother.

However, in spite of the minuses, I am not going back to rim brakes. The power, modulation, and reliability in all conditions makes this a clearly superior product, one worth the cost. They are also offered in a longer wearing version, but I'm sticking with 'quiet' for the pleasure of it.

Was expecting more squeal but didn�t experience it. Hopefully they will last longer than the organic pads.

Works very well in dry dusty conditions. Easy to install. Nice to see remaining amount of pad left when looking at the top of the caliper. Prefer the metal over the organic material.

Great pads, great brakes
by Born2Roam

Super easy drop-in replacement for OE pads, which gave reliable performance for several seasons. Super easy assuming you have a piston tool such as the Park Tool PP-1.2 Hydraulic Piston Press, which I do. Pads are quiet and powerful in all conditions.

Avid Elixir brakes are one of best brakes on the market. One, they are light weight. Two, the brakes pads are super easy to install. The only complaint is that the price should be lower. The price of one pair almost equals that of my vehicles brakepad.
