If TJ wants to spend time looking into this then good on him i say.
Oh and the superstar thing - TJ is absolutely right to pursue it in my opinion.

I like superstar sintered ones. They are ace. and cheap. whats not to like?
My two penneth.
p.s. Service and speed of delivery from superstar has always been top notch. Nice little business, I wish Neil all the best. I' sometimes wonder if he actually posts these 'which brake pads' threads as it keeps superstar in the front of peoples minds. if it is, then you've succeeded!

Never had a problem with superstar on hope and avid brakes.
Cheap because brake pads are cheap to make and they are not ripping you off?
My car pads at a set of 4 are cheaper than any other of the shelf number mentioned above. I would say Superstar are fairly priced the others a rip off.
PS i would hazard a guess they are all made in the same factory abroad.Posted 2 years ago # -
How do folks rate Fibrax?

I use Fibrax sintered and they seem ok. I have used the cheap Imperial pads before (same as the Superstar ones I think) and they were good until the pad came off the backing.
Fine if your jsut riding round the local woods, not worth the risk if your going to Canada. Saying that, Ive jsut ordered some A2Z ones for my trip to france but Ive only ever heard praise for them.

Anyone use EBC Green pads?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Fitted superstar ones for our annual lets push up Snowdon jaunt and they didn't like coming back down at all!!! In fact one pad didn't make it to the bottom, to be fair tho i fitted the cheapest ones, not sintered. So its a case of you get what you pay for i guess.
