HEL Performance have pulled out all the stops when developing their carbon Fiber brake pad shims. They've used the finest carbon Fiber, combined with an exclusive resin which is non-combustible and thermally resistant to temperatures over 400°C (752°F). This special resin cures an attractive yellow or orange depending on the batch.

These don't just look the part though: initial testing carried out by a professional racing driver in various road and track conditions showed a huge average temperature drop of 49°C (120.2°F) on the front calipers.

HEL carbon Fiber shims come in at a super-lightweight 3.5 grams per shim, compared to weighty titanium which are a typical 17 grams per shim. That's a dramatic 79% weight saving.

That's not the only comparison which makes titanium inferior though: carbon Fiber also has a much lower heat conduction compared to titanium (1W/mK compared to 22W/mK for titanium and 65W/mK for steel). Anything that helps reduce the temperature and increase efficiency of brake components is a good thing, especially as caliper seals are at risk of being damaged when they get too hot.

Installing these carbon Fiber brake pad shims will certainly inspire confidence that when you brake aggressively, all the components are being kept cool and working at their best.

You can also re-use the shims when changing pads, as long as they're in a good condition.

My new go-to for roadside emergencies.
Size: 58pcs, Size: 58pcs
Okay, I recently picked up this 58-in-1 tire repair kit, and I'm really glad I did. I've always been a bit nervous about getting a flat tire, especially on a long trip, and this kit has been a huge relief. The first thing I noticed was how complete it is. It's got everything you could possibly need, from the T-handle reamer to the solid pliers. I really appreciate the feel of the tools—they're not flimsy at all. The handle has a great grip, and the spiral tip on the reamer looks like it will make it easy to clear out a puncture without a lot of hassle. The plugs themselves feel tough and durable, like they'll actually hold up. I haven't had to use it on the road yet (thankfully!), but I did a practice run on an old tire I had. The instructions were easy enough to follow, and the whole process felt manageable. The best part is how compact the entire kit is. It all fits neatly into a little box that I can just toss in my trunk. It doesn't take up any space, and it gives me a real sense of security knowing it's there. It covers so many different vehicles, too, which is a nice bonus. It's definitely a peace-of-mind purchase that I'd recommend to anyone.

Good kit for the $$....
Size: 61pcs
Already saved me once, A good kit for the money, but if your smart, you'll add a tube of rubber cement, seals and lubes the plugs. All the foreign kits seem to not know this..?? Recommended...

61 piece - lots of what you need in a small case
Size: 61pcs
Great for mororcycle trips. I purchased the 61 piece kit in the soft case and its very small and tucks away well in my pannier. I also carry a small battery operated compressor and between the two can handle most repairs if needed. This comes with a small set of players which is a must for pulling nails, screws etc. from your tire. For the price I dont think you can do better than this kit.

Excellent quality and as advertized.
Size: 58pcs
It's a bit over packed and hard to close once opened. Too much extra stuff in the kit. W. O. B.
