The brakes really didn’t cut it with the stock pads. While riding with those pads in I was thinking every review should have started with “Do you need a downhill brake with not enough power?...”
It’s still not where I want it with Shimano Pads, but I flatted my front tire second lap after putting the pads in and may have glazed them on the long fire road ride down. I’d need to do on more pad test before stating my final opinion.
