Replacing your brake pads is important to ensure your bike is running safely. I went with the metal pads for a bit more bite. These are sold per brake with 2 pads, so make sure to order 2 for both the front and rear brake.

They will stop you. Don't you worry about that. Metallic- bite a bit harder but they are pretty much on or off, not too much feathering the power. Organic- Bit more of a progressive feel. the more you pull, the more they bite. BUT, they don't last quite as long as the metallic.

I've only used these brake pads since switching to SRAM Guides two years ago. They are durable, quiet, and efficient. I have no complaints!

Haven't had any squeaking or issues with them thus-far. Great brake-pads.

New brakes are great. extra pads when you need them is better. Can not complain

These are the standard choice for replacing the pads on your SRAM Guide or XO Trail brakes. Go with organic for quiet brakes and better bite. The organic will wear quicker though. Go with the sintered if you want your pads to last longer, or you are a heavy rider. The sintered might squeal a bit when wet though.

Ran the original pads all summer and now I need new ones. They do a pretty good job of stopping my forward progress. Bought the organic...less break in time/noise.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got a bike last year with Avid/Sram disc brakes--scary--I've been avoiding them since my first experience with Elixirs years ago. However, the new guide brakes work and work really well. But good stoppers require pads in good shape. I was pleasantly surprised that these new pads were significantly cheaper to replace than the J-type finned Shimano pads on most of my other bikes. Great value pads for a great braking system.

Brake pads wear out, its unfortunate, but it means that you ride your bike. Keep riding your bike fun by making sure you stop without the horrid metal on metal sound of over used and worn out brake pads. Its easier to replace these before you have to also replace a rotor.
Joe BoltonGearheadStill great brake pads.

Quiet reliable braking. I've used these all summer without issue. They don't last as long as the metallic pads.
Evan GrottGearheadfor keeping the rubber side down
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
they do the job. i prefer the metallic they dont work as well unless they are good and heated up which means less braking. less braking means more speed. More speed means more fun. im into that.

Quiet, cool, and decent life can be had when purchasing these pads. No complaints.
Vinny MauroEmployeeNice, Easy Maintenance
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Lots of work you do on your bike is expensive and/or lots of work. Throwing in some new brake pads is neither, and is a great (necessary) way to freshen up your ride.
Luke PerinEmployeeLots of Stops
Solid pads that lasted a long time. I don't have much of a preference when it comes to metallic vs organic, all I know is the last set of metallic pads I used lasted many miles. Break them in right and you shouldn't have any loud annoying brakes!
Ryan EmeryEmployeeMetallic Last Longer!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used both the organic, and the metallic. I personally prefer the metallic as they last much longer. The organic seem to keep the system cooler and do better in wet conditions, and are much quieter; however I wear them out 3 times as fast.
Definitely get new rotors if you are switching pad materials. I switched from organic to metallic and they made soooooo much noise. Got a new rotor with my newest set and it seems to have gotten rid of the howl.
Jason TrueEmployeeThey work
I use the organic pads for a little more modulation and less noise. Can't go wrong!
Jon JGearheadKeep your teeth in your head

Snagged a refresher set of the organics that came stock on my Guide RSC brakes. If you're changing pad compounds, you may want to get new rotors also, as the embedded material on the rotor may make things a little noisy with the change.

Keeps my brakes working
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great pads for great brakes. Love the feel and power of the Guides and replacing the pads keeps them feeling as close to new as possible.
ForrestGearheadOrganic and Gluten Free!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I don't know about the glutons, but I do love the quieter braking of the organic pads. They will wear out a little quicker and do not offer as much bite as the metallic pads, so if you are looking for a little extra modulation and a little less bite, these will do the job nicely.
