Still a fan of the Cooma gold pads for the maguras. And run them with Ali-x Sram Centrline discs.
Just bought 4 sets of pads, and 2x180mm discs and 2x203mm discs for $68 shipped.

I like the gold Cooma pads was using them with bucklo discs but they don't like wet muddy conditions(well not in my experience) work good in the dry. Gotta becareful when washing the bike espically spraying the cassette with the hose in the direction of the rotor the gold pads contaminate real easy.

I got a good deal on Shimano rotors and pads (aliexpress) I think there better than Cooma.

Going to give these a try. I still feel violated after paying ridiculous money for some Galfer pro pads and in all likelihood these are probably made in the same factory in the same machine who knows.
Even chit chat on MTBR about them. I particularly liked this comment.

Youre right. Brake pads are so over-priced for what they are. Even discs prices have got out of hand.
That combo of cooma gold and centrelines handled a non-stop fast for me run, top to bottom at Maydena on black/double black all the way down. Im 86kg.

I've got about 50 pairs of spare brake pads from Ali, can't remember what the brands are anymore. Most of them work alright, the ones I don't like I use on the commuter or throw them away.

Don’t panic, my last few orders have had a “customs issue” but end up being delivered.

I ordered 7 separate items on Boxing day, they all arrived Thursday and yesterday. 5 different packages, 4 items were captured in 2 bags, 3 singles.

All buffer pads and microfibre polishing cloths for the buffer the boys got me.

Bought an item and seller sent the wrong item. Asked if they could send the correct one and said ok but need to pay a $1. That’s a bit weird. Not bothered by the amount and offered to send the wrong one back but just got asked to pay a dollar?

Anyone else had this. Feels scammy but I may just be being over cautious.

I'd initiate the refund process if you haven't already, the longer they drag it out the less chance you'll have of getting the right item.

I bought something from a reputable online seller a while ago and I had to get it warrantied. They didn’t want it back to but initiate sending out the new item they had to charge me a token amount because it was the way their system worked and would freak out if there wasn’t a charge and payment to be reconciled for the item.
so could be something like that.

Might just pay the $1 and see what happens. Can try to sell the wrong item to get my money back if it all goes belly up.
