The pads are very thin and i dont see how they could be made thicker, them being inside the mechanism. I am not sure they would last nearly as long as conventional pads.

I don’t know enough to comment on the design overall, but my immediate thought was it looked much harder to replace the pads than in disk or drum brakes.
