Took a punt on these disc brake pads, hoping they would provide the holy grail of consistent & silent disc brakes. They look lovely and very light. However, fitting them to my Cervelo R5 Dura Ace 9170 Front Disc Caliper was very tight & took a lot of wiggling to get them on either side of the disc rotor. The result was that both the pads rub. There's no way to balance this, at best there's 0.5mm tolerance on each side of the disc. I've removed these and not even going to try an use them on the road as they'll just rub and scrape. It's a shame as I really wanted them to be a game changer.
Product Details
AMP Shimano Dura-Ace/Ultegra Carbon Backed Disc Ceramic Brake Pads
Designed for use with Shimano’s disc brakes, the AMP Dura-Ace/Ultegra Carbon Backed Disc Brake Pads have a ceramic compound that provides outstanding performance in demanding conditions. The carbon backplate means lighter weight and much less heat conductivity than either steel or aluminium plates so that the braking performance is undiminished on even the longest alpine descents. Additionally, the carbon plate eliminates any brake squeal, for a quieter, more serene ride.
Please see image for compatibility chart.
