I've just received 2 pairs of these from UK Bike Store (~£14 ea). They were listed on their site as being Formula Oro pads, which is what I wanted

I haven't tried these a2Z pads before - or even heard of them - has anyone got any experiences with these, or should I just throw 'em back at 'em

I've had some from the WoolyHatShop (via Ebay). I think they were about £5-£6 a set. They certainly work but I've found them rather noisy and squealy compared to the stock Shimano ones they replaced.

No problem with them, easily as good as original ones, only cheaper.

I've had a few sets now with no issues. Seem to be as good as Formula OEM parts.

Try Discobrakes next time, you can get 4 sets for about £15, they're easily as good as the originals on my Hopes and Avid brakes
