I bought some to try out the Shimano style brake shoe (can't see Ebay on this computer so not sure if you are looking at the same) - theory being that the screw attachment might mean I could extract pads without removing the shoes which I'd never managed with the Campag shoes.

It was a very cheap way of getting shoes and pads and I had no particular problem with the pads or the shoes. I think they wore away fairly quickly but I do loads of miles in all weathers and the Swissstops I use also last no time.

I've now gone back to Campag style shoes though. I found the pads no easier to get out of the shoes than the Campag ones and the little screws are soft and sieze up so I couldn't see much benefit. Possibly if you grease the threads they would be fine.

The pads were fine for stopping!

thought might well be worth a punt as cheap but you never know do you

thanks again

Lol - image isn't showing!

If you are buying them as a source of shoes then there's no risk even if you prefer other pads. You can always put the Barradine pads on the rear and your favourites on the front where they really make a difference. But like I said, they were fine for me.

Ribble sell Barradine pads btw so worth checking prices there.

Errrr, blimey! Home now and I can see them. Ideally only through my sunglasses!

The ones I used were much more normal! - http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... arabrbl225
