2 Pairs Bicycle Disc Brake Pads for Avid Mechanical BB5 (Resin,Semi-Metallic,Sintered Metal)

Took some time to break these in (didn't have time to properly break them with pre-wetting/gringing the surface), but after that they work perfectly fine - braking power is adequate, no squealing. Was very direct and easy to install and adjust.

Easy replacement and not hard on the wallet. Replaced my tears and after a short break in they stop smooth and quick. Love I have an extra pair for a future replacement.

There's was nothing wrong with these besides the face they were maybe 1/16 too big to fit my Jetson bolt electric bike

These were perfect and fit just fine. I'm not descending in the Pyrenees, just replacements for my beater commuter.

I was worried about some comments saying they don't fit, actually they do and it provides great performance when I test ran with the new brake pads. I almost wanted to throw away the bike and now with the new brake pads it becomes my fun toy again.

These just do not fit. There is too much pad material, too thick of backing plates, or a combination of both.After filing the openings of the calipers substantially, and making sure the adjustments are backed all the way out, the pads still will not fit.Save your money.

Not really free. But if you go-to a bicycle shop, you'll pay $18.99 for 1 set. Here your getting the upgraded semi metallic pads so might as well consider the spare pair free

The brake pads appear to be similar to the original equipment on my Avid BB5 brakes. However, the center locating hole was not deep enough by .015" to accommodate the locating pins on the brakes, so the pads did not seat properly. I was able to drill the holes deeper to get them to fit. Now they stop the bike quickly and quietly.

These are supposed to fit any BB5-compatible caliper. The Jetson Bolt Pro uses a caliper that’s purportedly the same size as BB5, but this definitely doesn’t fit the calipers that came on our 2022 model. The backing plate is a tad too wide in diameter, so the 1st inserted pad can’t be moved out of the way to allow room to fit the 2nd pad in. I’m not sure if stock pads are some proprietary size, but they’re 1-1.5mm smaller than these, and I just haven’t seen anything that size available. So I think the only solution is to buy these and grind them down until they fit.*Update* On second thought, I’m blaming the brake pad for something that might actually be the fault of Jetson. I can’t be sure, but it’s annoying that Jetson support is completely silent on any issue relating to support of this model. Anyway I did grind them down, and now they fit nicely and in fact they work better than the stock ones did. So I’ve upgraded the rating to 5 stars.

Great

Very nice brake pads, would buy again.

These installed easily and work great. They are much cheaper than other brands yet seem to work fine. We’ll see how long they last, but so far I am very happy with them.

Dont buy this if you have a Jetson pro!
