pad compounds

crispy1980

basically, im going to get a four pack set of pads for my avid juicy brakes from superstar. ive had these before on my gt and the power and feel was good but they really didnt last very long ( organic ) . what are the performance differences for the sintered pads? i know these are harder so should last longer but how much is this to the expense of stopping power? many thanks, chris

Go Kevlar, almost the best of both but don't expect the stopping power of organics, theyre a good compramise though

its a conspiracy.. they're all the same*









*IMO - I've noticed no difference apart from pad life!

If you're not riding very long descents ont he brakes, just get sintered. they last ages and offer better braking.

I've not noticed much difference in stopping power between organic and sintered, I found replacing my old rotor made more of a difference. The sintered last a lot longer in wet weather.

They also do Kevlar pads but I'm undecided on their performance as yet.
