The Superstar pad thing must have been well over 2 years ago. For what it's worth, I've had perhaps 16 sets of pads off SS (always buy them in pairs) and none of them have failed. It could well have been more than that to be honest...
Anyhoo - none of them have failed - in the mud/sand at Thetford, the hills of Wales, Peaks & Scotland, on the road, during hard weeks of riding in Spain with Ciclo Montana.....
The only brake failure I've had was when i forgot to put the split pin into a pair of Julie pads. The pads fell out mid ride. I still had plenty of braking though and only stopped to see what was going on as the brake had all of a sudden got really noisy. That was the point I was making really; I still had functioning brakes; obviously not as good as with the pad there, but they did still work.
Oh and as above, you should be done with braking before you get to the corner.

You're just euphemism central tonight aren't you, TSY?
Tea? You want to have a man's drink, like a mocha frappuccino.
BOB...(in inimitable accent)
That's a funny name for a girl.

Obviously an existing STW'er judging by the use of 'TJ'.

Wasn't me!! WTF am I being accused of now?? 👿
If we are pointing the finger, then I think it's TSY. Just don't trust that shifty character.
LOL - this isn't my style at all. Far too obvious. I'd be interested to see all the 2nd log-ins that people have had though... mods how about a sticky?
Excellent. can we go straight to the vote now?Jamie - Member
