£16 for 4 sets of Magura Louise disc brake pads?

Seems a bit god to be true since 1 set of Magura pads is £14.

same here - fat pads, had to file a bit off before could even get them in let alone get a rotor to fit between, these where Formaul Oro pads mind
Still at that price dont mind a bit of faff

Good price, good service, probably ok for UK use, but let me down big time on a trip to the Alps last year 🙁

the spring was shite for my xt brakes and the pad a totally different shape(less braking surface) than the genuine shimano pads, gone back back to shimano tbh....not worth paying less imo.

I had some and they were dreadful - needed bending to fit them in then lasted no time - I got the kevlar ones. Never ever again.

Get Superstars.
