Just a very quick one - I am sure I saw somewhere that it is advised to have a better brake pad on the front wheel as that is where most of the braking is done & have a cheaper generic brake pad on the back.

Is this true?

    Not sure but IMO I would just get 4 packs from Superstar for the price of 2 'official' pads

    If your only going to have one good set of pads, then yes, otherwise its better to have 2 sets of good ones!

    The Superstars we got for some juicy5's didn't fit mind......
