I remember a few years ago I got some tws front pads for mine which were absolute crap quality, so bad that when we tried to put the first pad in it wouldn't fit so sent them back and bought the original pagids which went in a treat.

Camskill sell them, too for about £54. But they pricematch, they say.
The other site worries me a bit. Has anyone bought stuff from there and had it delivered? When you put them in your basket, it doesn't say "mintex" anywhere.

I'm thinking maybe the MDB2601 is for just one wheel? Maybe you need 2 per axle? Does anyone know?ecain63 wrote:Sorted. Fronts and rears for £79 inc delivery? Am i missing something here?

I can assure you that MM of China is quite capable of printing Mintex on the box, and the pads......... Not saying they aren't genuine, just that just because it says Mintex on the outside, doesn't mean they are!They are Mintex, not some Mickey Mouse chinese brand
After all my $10 Rolex says Rolex on the case........

Well they have the hologram seal on the boxes, so I can only assume they're the real deal.Daveperc wrote:I can assure you that MM of China is quite capable of printing Mintex on the box, and the pads.........

Can someone confirm that you only need one MDB2601 per axle, not 2?
