I have Hayes Stroker Trail brakes and I want to get new pads the same as the stock ones which I believe are Hayes Brand sintered. The hayes website says they only make 3 types:
Sintered metallic = for ultimate power in wet or dry
Semi-metallic = for quiet operation and ultimate modulation
Semi-metallic on aluminum backing pad = for ultimate light-weight

However Chain Reactions lists:
Metallic - in stock
Semi Metallic - in stock
Semi Metallic Alu - in stock
Sintered - out of stock

Thats one more type than hayes say they make.
Do you think the metallic listed on CRC are actually the sintered metallic listed by Hayes? (I was thinking maybe the sintered listing which says out of stock might be an error).
