Okay, so I finally got my hands on this brake pad adjustment tool kit. Here’s the real tea—no fluff, just my experience.

First off, the stainless steel feels sturdy AF. Like, I could probably use it as a mini crowbar in a pinch (but please don’t). The size is perfect for slipping into tight caliper spaces without wrestling your bike like an alligator.

BUT—major warning—these edges are SHARP. I learned the hard way (RIP my fingertip) when I got too cocky and didn’t use gloves. Treat these like you’re handling razor blades, folks.

The actual adjustment? Magic. My disc used to sound like a dying robot, but after using these spacers, it’s whisper-quiet. Took me literally five minutes to stop that annoying rubbing noise that’s been haunting my rides.

That said… the packaging was tragic. Mine arrived looking like they’d been through a woodchipper with that weird plastic coating half-peeled. Not exactly the ~aesthetic~ unboxing experience.

Verdict: If you hate brake rub and don’t mind treating tools like hazardous materials, these are worth it. Just maybe keep bandaids nearby.
