Ok lets see where this ends up.

Time to put some brake pads on. The bike shop has sold me EBC Brakes “High Performance Organic, Carbon Graphite or Sintered”

I guessing my bike had OME on it.

1 What do we think of these?

2 What are we using?

Funny enough when my brother went in the same shop they sold him different BRAND.

i have found over the years the harder the pad the quicker your discs start wearing

I’m running EBC pads on my 450x and love them, they don’t fade and have not eaten my rotors at all.

Braking, Metal Sintered pads work well for me.

I have to agree with Rocket ans Marty. Metal sintered, don’t fade or wear rapidly when it’s wet.

Ok I have put the pads on and went for a crack around the paddock & all good so far.

Looks like they are the CARBON type for DRY track.

Thanks to all I have now learnt that the SINTERED one’s are for WET.

Oh and it does say all of that on the back of the packet :laugh: :laugh: fine print.

Cheers
