    Hi guys, I'm looking for some brake pads for my Giant Escape R2, and every shop I've gone into seem out of them so I want to order a few pads off the net. The Giant site is pretty poor, doesn't seem to have any links to where you can buy them for a specific bike.
    I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to bike maintenance so I want to make sure I buy the right pads. My brakes are 'Hayes MX4 mechanical disc', can't find the exact spec on the website but these one's seem like the right ones

    Do you think they would fit okay?

    Cheers,
    Alan

    They should fit OK - the MX4 is likely to be an OEM version of the MX3.

    You could try getting off these guys. They do really cheap brake pads (I think they source them directly from China) and I have used them loads of times http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/index.php?cPath=21. Usually much cheaper than CRC.
