I'm looking for some new brake pads for me mech. disc brakes and saw some very cheap Alligators. Has anyone here ever used them before? To be specific semi-metallic pads to fit Shimano M-465's.

I just picked up some front and rear alligator pads from pricepoint. They work fine, I currently run bb7 mechs. No probs - easy install.

Never used the pads, but just picked up one of their rotors and I'm very happy with it.
