    Anyone using them? any real world reviews?

    They look great value at £140 a set from Zee Germans.

    I’d budget for a decent set of pads too. Mine have OK, if not amazing, power, but squeal something awful.

    Shameless plug: Got some BNIB callipers here with 4 sets of pads that I want to sell…

    few mates use them, say they are good.

    I swapped to MT520 4-pot callipers on Saturday, retaining the original levers and hoses. Dead easy to do, took less than an hour to do both.
    I’m happy with the supplied resin pads; plenty of power when compared to the 2-pots and no squealing. I’ve been advised that Uber Race Matrix pads are the bomb though, so I’ll give them a go next.

    I got mine from Bike24.

    I bought some last year. Was looking at Zees and Saints but put off by wandering bite point issues even on recent sets.

    Mine work brilliantly – power is up there with other Shimano 4 pot brakes, especially once I changed the pads to Saints (non finned ones – the finned ones need some of the fins removed to fit, which I CBA to do).

    What’s the finned pad mod job?
