Not used them but these guys are often mentioned as an alternative to Superstar;

I buy uberbike stuff quite regularly.

Disco +1

Uberbike, their Race Matrix compound do what they say on the tin. Wouldn’t use anything else now http://www.uberbikecomponents.com/view-product/Uberbike-Formula-Mega-The-One-R1-RX-RO-T1-Race-Matrix-Brake-Pads

Überbike are very similar to superstar,
There sintered pads are really good and a good price to

many thanks

As above.uber Race matrix on all bikes now.They are superb.

My Race Matrixes went in the bin after a day and a half of inconsistent alpine erratic shitness. Only did one ride with them in the UK and they were OK so maybe it was just the heat… But anyone who knows me knows I never throw anything in the bin, I’ve got a box of 3/4 worn pads in the garage “just in case”, these on the other hand- bin.

Haven’t used Uber’s sintered, I imagine they’re the same as certain other retailers 😉

Disco sintered weren’t great for me, kind of low power and the braking surfaces broke up on a couple of sets (they still worked, they just lost lumps of material). But OK.

Interestingly (if that sort of thing floats your boat) the superstar F3 pads are available via eBay

And slightly cheaper than their website too…

Not sintered… I am not a clever man…

These are the sintered ones..

3rd edit!

Discobrakes excellent. Usually order sets of 4 which are a v.good price and come very quickly. The sister company Carbon Cycles also good and prompt. Had two sets of the Nano equivalent pedals which were the cheapest I found on the net.

+1 for Uberbike. Great pads, great service.
