These pads are CNC machined from solid brass in Texas and DO NOT contain any screws, rivets, adhesive, or steel. These pads are made for mud and water riding where brake wear is an issue. These pads will last many times longer than OEM style pads in very muddy conditions. These pads are not recommended for high speed riding styles and can make noise under braking conditions, but will not damage the rotors. Stopping power is reduced with these brake pads compared to conventional brake pads.
