Where to buy ENVE brake pads?

Postby Dr_Mutley » Fri Apr 05, 2013 7:06 pm

LBS can probably order them, but is there somewhere online who stocks them? They seem hard to find...

What's so good about them? Won't Swisstop Yellow or Reynolds Blue suffice?

My theory is if you can afford their ridiculously priced wheels what's another $94!

Yeah but I'm a tight ass!!! Haha
I bought some 2ndhand so they were bout the same price as any other decent carbon wheel..,

Ross:
I'm running Swissstop yellows now and they are terrible... No modulation, squeal, and reports of overheating and rim damage...

I looked at most of the usual US sites, where the enve blocks are cheapest...
Postage however from any of the US sites is the killer... Between $35 & $50 mostly...

Ended up getting them from sigmasports... $67 delivered... Might try the Reynolds as well, thanks for the tip fellas...

I run Swissstop yellows on my carbon wheels and they seem ok. Very similar in performance to my alloy wheels with standard Shimano pads. I might try something else when they wear out just to see what all the fuss is about.

I was talking with a mate after today's race and he runs the same brake pads (Swissstop yellows) on both his alloy and carbon wheels. I expressed concern about the pads picking up micro bits of aluminium and damaging the carbon wheels but he reckons there's no problem.

I am with you Ross there is no way I would use the same pads for both carbon and alloy.

Love the performance oy swisstop yellow but plan to give the new black prince a try.

Hmmm, I certainly wouldn't run the same pads interchangeably... Those shards if alloy couldn't to much to the carbon braking tracks...

I ordered a whole bunch of the new swissstop black princes. I'm keen to give them a go. The yellows are terrible for leaving marks on your braking surface.
