Advantages: Last for ages and easy to fit Disadvantages: None
I've used the Avid BB7 mechanical for over three years now & have been satisfied using these sintered (Gold) pads. The setup was both the stock 160mm rotor & 185mm rotor. Even in pouring rain the 160mm plus these Avid pads stop the bike with great modulation. Now I have one installed for the front for my XC bike which stops like a dream. Occasionally dirt and oil may require you to clean them by either soaking the pads in alcohol & sanding a thin layer. In either case, the pads last a long time and the break-in period is fast! (Just pour water on the rotor, go down the hill and brake hard couple times)
These brakepads can vary from dealer to dealer but mainly the retail for around £15, there are various online stores that they can pe purchased from including "Evanscycles.com" and "chainreactioncycles.com" ...

By most accounts (including mine), the Tri-Align Caliper Positioning System is the easiest way to mount a discbrake on a mountain bike, and it allows you to spend less time cursing tiny shims and stomping around your shop or garage.
While I wouldn't argue that the long-term performance of the Avid mechanical brakes trumps that of most hydraulic brakesystems on the market, they're far and above the best mechanical discbrakes that I've tried. If you have the choice between a set of Avid mechanicals and pretty much any other mechanical discbrake available today, go with the Avid and save yourself a bunch of headaches and many days of sore hands. If you're considering a set ...

, and then adjust pad and cable. They're also a bit cheaper than buying the Kool Stop brake blocks.
The Downsides?
The only real downside is cost. You pay around £7.50 as opposed to £3-4 for the cheaper brands.
Overall
Barring discsbrakes, these pads are the best brake upgrade to your bike for wet and muddy rides. ...
