I use a mix of organic and sintered works well most days but today and cut out the whinning
noise I was getting..... anyway today it was soooo wet the organic pads disappeared. Any body using any different makes? Finding any particular brand good? If any one knows for any cheaper compatible brand that works well, that would also be worth knowing because they cost such alot for two pairs!

Many thanks

    i have ebc gold and i think they are ace. 15 quid but have lasted ages and are super powerful.

    i also have a set of swiss stop pads which came with the bike from the shop as a set of spares. they are very powerful too but i think they are pretty expensive
  • Ill take a look at them sheepteeth If they do last they are probably worth the £30 for a set

    i suppose you get what you pay for. i use the gold pads on my willow, my stumpy, i have used them on my old reign and i keep a spare set in my tool box but havent needed to change them in ages.
  • I will try some of them then they sound good!

    Thanks for the tip

    let us know how you get on.
  • I will but I have been saved for now....... went through all my pads and found I had 2 with quite a bit of wear still left on them and a spare set that I had forgotten I had, so they went on the bike this morning. I will be sure to buy to buy your recommendation next though!
