I bought some, fitted them, rode them once then sold the bike. Nothing wrong with them at all during that one ride and bed in. Obviously cant comment on longevity!

Used a fresh set of superstar kevlar pads on the passportes du soleil on Sunday. That was the hot dry and dusty day, with a little smidge of mud thrown in, remnants of that suffered by riders on the Saturday. Running on Hope M4s. I'd suspect 6500m+ of Alps downhill in 1 day is as good a test as any? They worked perfectly well, plenty spare still too.

Good kit.

Got some last week, only done one dry hot ride with them so far, and all was well.

I got some of the sintered ones after the regular sort only lasted a couple of weeks, and they seem to be lasting way longer, probably as long as the original Shimano ones
