Questionable review before mine
I noticed the other review for these pads and was a little amused by it. In his description of his problems during install, he never mentioned bleeding the brakes to get the piston in the caliper to go back in, thus creating the room he needed to get ANY NEW PAD TO FIT! I've ran these on my Jamis and had no problems what so ever. The key is to know what your doing, as with any repair...but especially the ones that slow you down, speed you up, make you turn, or keep you from running off the cliff in general.

Disappointed
I purchased a set of these pads to replace the rear stock pads that were just about completely worn out. After pressing the caliper back in, I was not able to get these pads to fit without rubbing the disk. And I'm not talking of a slight rub, this is like running the brake engaged. The only way to resolve this was to sand them down on a flat surface with 300 grip paper to take just a little off both pads, which then gave me enough clearance. On the trail, I immediately noticed that these pads did not grip the disk as well as the stock pads, and although they kept quiet, they tended to fade quickly on long downhill runs. After 2 weeks and about 50 miles, the performance still hasn't improved. Seeing that the Avid OE pads are only a couple dollars more, I'll be purchasing them and keeping these as a backup set. I'm glad I didn't replace both sets at the same time, would've really wasted my money.
