Worst thing would be to want to stop and not be able to, right?! -)
Dura-ace are some of the best caliper brakes made. My pads had worn down quite a bit and I didn't realize how bad they were until I put on the new brake pads. Like night and day. Easy to install. I have Mavic aluminum Kryserium SL wheels. Works perfectly.
With Ultegra brakes, I only use these brake pads, relatively inexpensive.
Don't mess with anything else. Dura Ace brakes and pads are the best.
Easy to remove from brake and reinstall. They provide great stopping power in dry and wet conditions. The design, channels away road grime from eating into the rims. I've been able to stop with speeds up to 50 mph with no problems on my Dura Ace brakes and pads.
they are brake pads. They are easy to install and will stop you if it isn't to wet.
Comparing to other brands, the Shimano Dura Ace pads work the best for much better reliable stops. They will skid the rear tire if too much pressure is applied. I bought many sets for back up. Always nice to have on hand.
New brake pads are necessary for all riding, SAFETY FIRST!
These pads really make my bike stop better. They are very simple to put on.
Difficult to control stopping rate when used on front brakes.
Almost took a header.
My old brake pads lasted a long time. I may not wait as long next time because fresh rubber reinstills confidence. Best to stick with OEM quality.
