Jagwire 5 V-Type

By far hands down best brake pads I ever used on sram guide brakes !! I have been running full suspension mountain bikes for over 12 years . And always using original sram brake pads for my RSC systems . They are ok but somewhat noisy and squicky . Those jagwire are just different level of stoping power!! So precise and strong !! . But yet feeling soft and just so silence they just feel way better and giving more confidence on agrresive trail riding and enduro riding . If you want quiet strong and precise pads those are the way to go . All ready amazing brakes just feeling way more awesome with those pads !! You gotta try them before you pull the trigger and upgrading your brakes . You won’t be disappointed:) I bought 4 pairs for both my Santa Cruz bikes !! Best brake pads I have used . Tight strong but modulation feels amazing and predictable

I tried to use this with my 220mm diameter, 2mm thick rotors, and found that the pads are too thick to allow free movement of the rotor disc even with the pistons pushed all the way in, so I had to return it.This probably works great on standard 1.8mm rotors, and probably lasts a long time, but this will not work with the SRAM 220mm rotors.

i'm surprised that i got this product way, way ahead of expected delivery date.so, i've had this for 2 day now and very much impressed on how sticky they were compared on my stock SRAM pads. i'm giving it 5 stars for my buying experience and initial impression. i still have to ride my bike on the trail, which i'm waiting for a chance, and give my full review on this product.i love how grippy they are but knowing they are semi metallic and their long term effect on my discs/rotors is where my curiosity is right now.i will update this review, a week from now, several trail rides and 2 months after to see give overall performance review on this product.

I’ve never been really happy with my rear Guide R brakes...until now. They always worked... but I felt disconnected from them. I tried bleeding, reinstalling the oem pads etc. I’m glad I tried these pads before buying a more expensive rig. The Guide R grabber now has a much better feel/ firmer progression and the brakes work great.

So these are way better than stock. On long descents is where I notice the improvement. The original pads on my SRAM guide R brakes heat up and fade. These do not. Saved me from upgrading to the Code line of brakes, as I thought I needed better brakes. I really only needed better pads.
