5.0 out of 5 stars Much Better, October 29, 2011

I bought a 2011 model Giant Roam 1 which came with the Avid BB5 brakes and their stock pads. At first I was content, but then I began to realize that the more the pads broke in, the more they faded during stops. Soon after that they began to howl and squeal like and animal, and after cleaning to factory specs, they would soon continue to do so. They always made my rotor hot enough to burn my fingers. After some extensive research online I found that the Kool Stop pads were the way to go for an upgrade for the stock pads. I ordered and they arrived fast. Installation was simple as they are mechanical brakes. I was immediately surprised at the difference! They were quieter all together, no howling, no squeaking and no grinding noise. They bite harder and stay MUCH cooler, they truly stand up to their name. I would highly recommend these pads to anybody who wants to upgrade from their BB5 pads or any other pads that make too much noise or just simply get too hot.

The advertisement indicated that the pads would be quite. I installed the pads and for a little while the brakes were quiet. Within the first ride the brakes squealed as much as the originals. If you are looking to quiet the squeal look somewhere else.
