Hey can I use sintered brake pads on a rotor that says "Resin only"? I mean, what could happened other than rotors will be destroyed quicker than usual... Thanks

    Not a problem and they might not squeak as much.

    resin only rotors are softer than the more expensive ones so will wear down quicker.

    They still last years and years. Makes no difference IMHO.

    Used one on the front for a couple of years. I am a big bloke and it didnt seem to wear any quicker than an ordinary rotor. It used to go a pretty blue colour if you were hammering the brakes but that disappeared after a ride.
