Did anyone send an email to claim their free fibrax brake pads. I did ages ago and have just recieved an email saying that they were unable to offer me any free pads. However they listed some "great" new products and said i had qualified for a 20% discount. Hmmmmmmmm.....
Did anyone actually get any free pads ?

Sounds like they need reporting to trading/advertising standards.

yes I got the email saying sorry no pads but offering 20% off.

Don't do organic pads for Formula RX but they do Sintered but the offer was for free organic pads.

Surely if you wanted your pads "show cased" to a mass market you would offer the sintered ones??

Perhaps they just wanted a database of free loaders ๐Ÿ˜‰

i just got this email:

[i]Thank you for responding to the Fibrax 300 advert in SINGLETRACK magazine.
We had a great response to the advert.
I can now advise you that we will soon be sending out the Shimano XT brakes
disc pads that you requested. The Fibrax reference for the disc pads we
are sending to you is ASH993. I would expect you should receive these pads
within the next two weeks.
We look forward to hearing any comments from you about these pads once you
have tested them out.[/i]

I wonder if they read the STW forum....

Thank you for responding to the Fibrax 300 advert in MBR magazine. We had
a great response to the advert.
I can now advise you that we will soon be sending out the Hope Mono mini
disc pads that you requested. The Fibrax reference for the disc pads we
are sending to you is ASH911. I would expect you should receive these pads
within the next two weeks.
We look forward to hearing any comments from you about these pads once you
have tested them out.

I have two bikes and went for the Hope ones rather than the Shimano ones, assuming that less people would ask for them. Looks like I was right. Cool.

Got mine a day or two ago - Shimano ones. My front brake's pretty low now, so I'll fit them and see how they survive a bit of peak district grit bashing.

Randomly just got an email saying I'll be getting a set in the post - lovely!

So, who does the best?

Shimano?
Superstar?
EBC?
Fibrax?
