Prolly not going to get much of a bite on those given their past poor history.

Mintex will take them back and replace them before use if anyone is concerned.

You're suggesting that someone buy these, then swap them for new ones? Serious PITA.

I'm suggesting if someone wants them and has a problem or is concerned they can swap them.

Default "The rumors of my death....."

There are so many variations of this tale, I think we need to NARROW it down some to lot/month/something specific.

I (and others on this Board) have used Mintex Reds succesfully for some time. So yes, I have the same bias as those who haven't. The failures are documented, but I suspect of limited applicability.

Sort of ike the old "Audi will run over your children" frights of the 1980s.

Default I got a set of Mintex pads. That particular box was crap. There are many other brands that didn't

have this problem. So, why screw with them?

Default Noted. And I got a set w/o problems. What's the point?

There doesn't seem to be a wholesale QA/QC failure at Mintex.
