I recently got my hands on the Boao 4 Pairs Resin Disc Brake Pads, hoping for a smooth upgrade for my bike. Right off the bat, the packaging was neat, and I appreciated getting four pairs—definitely a good deal for the price.
Installation was a bit of a mixed experience. While they slid into my Avid BB5 calipers without much fuss, I noticed they were slightly thicker than my old pads. A quick sanding session with coarse sandpaper did the trick, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re not handy with DIY adjustments.
Once installed, the performance surprised me. The resin material lives up to its promise—minimal noise (unlike some metallic pads I’ve tried) and almost no brake dust. Even after a few rainy rides, braking remained consistent, which is a huge plus for all-weather commuters like me.
However, compatibility is where things get tricky. A friend tried these on their Jetson Bolt Pro scooter, and they simply didn’t fit despite earlier reviews claiming otherwise. So double-check your model before buying!
Durability-wise, after two months of daily use (including some aggressive downhill stops), they’ve held up well with minimal wear. For the price, these are solid performers—if they fit your setup.
