Review
When I brought these pads at first I thought they where amazing. They didn’t stick to tar like the magura pads, the compound gave plenty of power and the brake lever didn’t feel too spongy. However, I discovered that the pads backing had snapped in two and was only held together by the pads compound, and that two of the four clips that hold the pad onto the magura had also snapped off.

Rimjams would be a great pad if the backings weren’t so crap. Unfortunately I wouldn’t recommend these pads to anyone.

Review
I had never tried a real trials pad before, so this one was a completely new experience after I tried the regular Magura pads.

I've used these for some time now, and what I have to say is that the braking power is there when I need.

However, this pad is surely not to be used in normal riding, since if you feather it all the time you will end up deaf. The squeak is very annoying! I think this is due to the fact the backings are not very stable.

Next time I need new pads, I will definately try others than these.
