  I can buy disc brake pads for my F150 pickup truck that are less expensive than pads for my bicycle. The ones for the truck have a hundred times the material that is in the bike pads. Ridiculous.

  It’s a crime what we’re charged for bike brake pads vs what car brake pads costs. Consumables like brake pads, tires and chains are like ink cartridges for printer companies

  Something this important and only now we have had a meaningful discussion on performance and testing. Well Done for doing this, much appreciate the insight.

  Great video.<br>I started using SWISS STOP because my Shimano metal pads were so noisy when they got wet. Swapped out to Swiss Stop and total silence. What I wasn&apos;t expecting was the extra stopping power and that was before they had even bedded in. Really Impressive and worth the extra. All my bike have them now. I&apos;ve fitted them to a few of my riding buddies bikes and thankfully they all agreed with me.

  Not sure about the temperature difference since they should all be doing the same work.. so think you are just measuring heat distribution. This raises the obvious question: did the chamber have airflow?

  Great video. I was expecting better performance from swissstop, maybe because of marketing. But quiet they are, like a Swiss on a Sunday morning.

  I really enjoyed this video but, I&apos;d definitely like to see more extensive testing this area.<br><br>Super good to see a media outlet trying to provide consumers with some actual testing and investigation based in some evidence. Not just rehashing the brochure with an artificial set of fault choices.

  If the noise of the machine is constant, it should be possible to measure the noise

  Excellent videos something i had always wondered about but like you say the data doesnt seem to be out there.. must have been a pricy video to make so commenting for the algorithm and to thank you! &nbsp;Kudos to the company who let you use the brake testing kit too!
