Hapleby 4PCS Premium Bike Brake Pads, Professional Mountain Bicycle V-Brake Pads, Bike Brake Blocks Kit, for Free Hex Wrench

I am glad I didn't get a callback when I called a local bikeshop to repair my caliper brakes. It was pretty simple, thanks to Amazon for providing me a way to change my brakes!

Just a few miles so far but braking is strong and quiet.

Great brake pads, but the fit is not quite right for a 29" wheel. The radius of the pad would be perfect for a 24" wheel, but with my 29" wheels the radius is a bit too tight. This causes the ends of the brake pads to hang off the wheel a bit. I'm still going to run them until they are worn out, but next time I need to find pads with a better fit.

For my electric bike. It seems to stop quicker with these. But when it's damp outside they squeal a lot

Retired WWII Aircraft Restoration Tech,where other hobby is restoring old bikes.The 20 year old Huffy was in rough shape, to where a couple long days with cordless Dremel, restored the spokes, rims, and paint to fully 90% restored new look.Adding mirror, rack & insulated cargobags, the grocery runs are now flawless venture, vs plastic bags tied to handle bars, making mission difficult.The rear brakes for this case, the pads are so critical on very steep downhill run for 2.5 blocks into village.The standrd original pads hardened by age, squealed the entire run down the hill very extreme. Braking effort needed more surface contact.Stopped at local bike shop, spent $20 on new pads they suggested, and the new compound might be Nytrile vs Rubber, barely gripped the steel rims at all, darn scary.Found these 2-3/4" pads, and arrived today, what a nice controlled silent run down hill. Never needing front brakes to assist, and not advised, but gentle.Keep front pads standard for safe braking control - all crashing is front wheel sudden lock up.I'd like to see this Pad made slightly more full face to match face of the steel Rim contact, vs it's trimmed profile.But it's the best option for general, & down hill riding.One very cool engineering concept that will be missed by everyone, are the matching special cone faced washers included.These should be included for all pads.At final setting of pads when held tight against rims, now tighten nut, and this will make sure face of pads hit square to the rim's face.I used standard 5mm nut/10mm socket, vs the Allen headed nut for my C brake levers.Cheers

Perfect fit, works great

Stopped way quicker than my stock ones. Fit also, that was a concern.

I purchased the Hapleby 4PCS Premium Bike Brake Pads for my mountain bike, lured in by the product description that seemed to promise super high quality. After installation and several rides, here's my take on these brake pads:**Pros:**1. **Decent Performance**: These brake pads are okay. They're likely better than what a standard bike shop might install but don't expect them to be extraordinary.2. **Quiet Operation**: As advertised, the brake pads do not produce noise during use. This is a definite plus, as noisy brakes can be irritating during a ride.**Cons:**1. **Overpriced**: In my opinion, these brake pads are overpriced for what they offer. The quality is decent but not exceptional, so the cost doesn't seem justified.2. **Quantity Concerns**: Considering the price and the fact that one might need to replace these yearly or even sooner depending on mileage, I think they should ship with six pads instead of four.**Conclusion:**The Hapleby 4PCS Premium Bike Brake Pads are an acceptable choice if you're looking for a modest upgrade from standard bike shop offerings. They provide a noise-free experience, which is a nice feature. However, the value for the price is somewhat lacking.If you're looking for true premium quality, you might be slightly disappointed, but for general use, these brake pads are likely to serve you well. The overpricing and quantity are drawbacks to consider, especially if you're planning on regular replacements. All in all, they are adequate but don't fully live up to the hype.
