5 Responses to “Aztec Aztec2 Bicycle Brake Pads”

  Of all the brands I had, this one has the best braking power, ever! Because of the weight-shift during (hard-) braking, the front brake has to be activated by the stronger hand! Since I’m right-handed, that’s the right brake lever; for left-handed people I suggest to switch (or have switched, at a bicycle shop) the brake cables, to get the shortest braking distance possible! (It’s not a matter of habit as some people say, it’s a very important safety measure!)
  
  P.S. To be noted that the braking position of racing bikes (dropped handlebars) is very dangerous, because of the weight of the cyclist which is way too much up in front, this determined by the curved-forward position! In this case I advice to the owners of racing bikes, to get the cross brake-levers, which are mounted at the >top< of the dropped handlebars, in order of moving the center of gravity toward the back!

  I just replaced brake pads on both of my bike wheels. I put this item on front and JagWire $6 pads from REI on the back. I could see the significant difference: Aztec pads provide much more braking power. Given just $2 price difference Aztec is clearly a very good choice.

  I own a mountain bike and use it to commute to school everyday in Los Angeles. Anyway my original brakes were down to nothing and after crashing into another biker because I could not stop in time I figured it was time to get new brakes. These brakes have a higher stopping power then my mountain bikes originals breaks every did! they work great but be warned they lockup easy.

  Haven’t given these a whole lot of use yet, so I can’t judge their durability, but so far they seem to be pretty good and afford a good deal of breaking without being too grippy and throwing me over the bars. Always a plus. For the price, I can’t fault them.

  I searched the web for Mongoose XR-75 bike parts , but was unable to find a site specifically designed for Mongoose bikes. Most of the sites had generic parts, and did not give adequate details. Finally, I decided to ordered the Aztec bicycle brakes from Amazon. I ordered two pairs, they arrived within five days. They were easy to install, they fit perfectly and work even better than the originals. Note, most bicycle repairs requires metric tools, so be prepared whenever you attempt to do any work on your bike with a good set of metric hex, and open end wrenches.
