Ordered some pads, came in a day, Haribo included. So even if the pads are rubbish, I've got some Tangfastics. I'll let you know how I get on.
I have got a pair of their crap wheels and all I can say is they are bloomin' fantastic so far (several months of constant use).
I also have 4 sets of pads but as none of my old ones have fully worn out yet... I haven't used them!!! 🙂
Used many Superstar pads on my Juicys - all good.
Got two sets of spares for my Elixirs when they wear out - they look good too!
I ordered mine at 05:30 Tuesday (spent the nightshift wisely) and they were there today when I got up from my nightshift today (haribo included)
No Elixir sintered on eBay and they won't swap any if you buy 4 sets from eBay...guess I won't be buying any as I'm not registering on their website.
After Sunday's gorrick destroyed all my pads and my spare set I ordered bank holiday monday. With me today. Impressed. Didn't get any haribo though 🙁
Just returned my 4 pack as the pads were so far off centre on the backing plate that there wasn't enough room for the spring to sit down the side and they fouled the caliper.
Last set were fine though
Pads are too thick but are great once you take some paint off the back and they're bedded in.
Considering getting an i900-r from them. Colour kit might tip the balance.
Got Haribo too. Made my day (yes, it was a rather uneventful one).
I bought a set of pads a couple of years back (from the so-called 'bad batch') which delaminated resulting in face-ground interfacing at speed.
Thought I'd try them again a few months ago - two or three runs into the day they delaminated and put me on my face, again!
Plus I didn't get tangfastics with mine. Boo. Perhaps they hope no-one will notice the shoddy quality of their pads if they're on an epic sugar high?
Pedals here, look great, work very well, same as NS / HT / Kona , good price, and arrived next day.
Used them for several yrs now on Magura Julies, Juicy 7s & now Elixirs.
Used them during normal weekly Thetford rides, trail centre visits, 'endurance' events, weeks in Spain etc. and not had an issue with any sets of pads.
I have used their pads for several years now and never had cause for complaint. Being able to buy a discounted pack of 4 and choose different pad shapes is very useful.
I have recently bought some of their locking grips, they are a real bargain, arrived the next day complete with a bag of sweets.
Excellent service and prices, what more do you want?

The only pads I've had delaminate are EBC and Shimano. The bottom line is, it's something that happens sometimes, but when it happens with some brands it's the end of the world, when it happens with others nobody mentions it.
On the one hand, Fruit is a c**k. But I've never been anything but happy with the pads. Loving the kevlars in my XT...
