Brake pads...
What are the best after market brakepads?
Looking for:
1. Affordable
2. Dont fade under heat
3. Last a decent time
4. Dont increase wear on disks overly much
Obviously sinted pads brake better but they also wear out your disks a lot quicker...

Inflation or Ive been had but retail for same now $54.00. IMHO are harder pads that seem to handle the heat better with less fade.MadKaw wrote:I used Gold Fren S3 Racing carbon ceramic pads..

Re: Brake pads...
I use these wickedly good carbon based pads that Randal at Road Rocket in West Melbourne sells. They are good value, work on the road and the track, wear well, resist fade throughout races, long rides and also over time (I've had them in the 9 for some time, and the 6 also-they use the same pads nowStereo wrote:What are the best after market brakepads?
