Are these any good? Thinking of trying them but I have never heard of them

I bought 4 pairs for £11 (Triple Compound)and they are not bad at all, IMHO they are comparable to Koolstop Salmon. I had them on my bike for nearly a month now and they are great in the wet and dry, no noticeable wear on the Rims and pads. To be fair I had only been out in the wet 4 times still good I think as my Durace pad didn't last too long after a few wet rides. Forget about the Fibrax (standard compound) made out of cheese in my opinion.

I use their carbon specific and red 'dura-ace' ones and I have used their Tiagra compatibles before and all have been above expectations. I used the red ones last week for the first time on a pair of Fulcrum Zero's and the stopping power was immense. I hadn't used my dura ace brakes with non carbon pads before though and the fulcrums are absolute quality so can't say for sure it was the pads.

I was pleasantly surprised with the OBE pads. The reason why I bought them was bacause I was getting fed up with pads getting worn up pretty quickly in the wet and I thought, OK I'll purchase cheap pads if they don't work so what. I have tried a number of pads like Fibrax, Shimano Dura Ace, Shimano Ultegra, Koolstop Salmon and by far OBE is the best and of course very good value. I'm very surprise not many people have heard of them.

I don't use to endores / advert products but I am using those pads on my old urban commuting bicycles. I retrofitted its caliper brakesand have to say I am definitely satisfied, they have drastrically improved the way it stop.
I recomend them, at least for urban caliper brakes bicycles.
