Trickstuff Power pads are excellent and not too badly priced at EUR 20 a pair. Transformed my Guide RS brakes on my Enduro from being barely adequate to nice and powerful.

Anyone have an update on how these pads perform? The last time I had Shimano brakes, I went through pads fairly quickly, hopefully Gorillas last longer. I've been running Hopes on my accoustic, pads last for ages, but now with the Rail I'm back to Shimano for the meantime

How are you guys finding your brakes on your 7s. Mine are ok, they work well however on longer steep descents I get that strange feeling that they may give out. They probably wouldn't, but you know, once that thought gets planted in your head...
I'm hopeful some new pads would give a bit more reassurance.

Have you tried bleeding them if they feel a bit dodgy? I had to bleed mine after a few rides as they just weren’t bedding in properly. Feel much better now, although I did experience brake fade a few weeks ago on a long descent.
