Has anyone tried Fibrax pads for dual-pivots?
I currently run Swissstop, which are superb, if somewhat expensive.
I wondered what these Fibrax pads were like, given that they're 5 quid direct from the manufacturer's site!

I am guessing from their confusing site, that the "Extreme" pads are the best ones?

  • I use the Fibrax road bike ones. I bought pink ones for the front, and they threw in some grey ones for free and I put them at the back. Work better that the Shimano pads I had before, but I couldn't say if they're better than Swisstop.

    I kinda get the impression that the brake cassettes/holders are the same from quite a few aftermarket manufacturers, it's just the rubber inserts in them which differ.

    I bought some Fibrax pads last year for the Winter bike and they're just about worn out, so I need some new insterts - agree the Fibrax site is horribly confusing : give you the part numbers, but don't tell you what the different grades of pad are aimed at...
  • i've used fibrax road and v pads for a few years. they stop me ok.never had any problems. i usually get them here as they're cheap! http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... delID=2955
