Here's what $69.99 gets you
“Squeal is almost
always the compound,
not the rotor.”

Questions riders ask
Will they fit my brakes?
Pick your brand and model in the finder and it shows the pad that fits. “Perfect fit (Maven).” John H.
Can I install them myself?
“It's been a while since I replaced my own brake pads, typically leaving it to my LBS… super easy to install.” Chris P.
Will they squeal?
Squeal is almost always the compound, not the rotor. Bed them in once and they settle down. Trail is the quietest of the three.
What if I pick the wrong one?
Ride them for 60 days, swap compounds if you're not happy or get your money back.
