Just checking over the bikes for holiday next week. GFs bike is all good.

My fronts brake felt a touch on the not sticky side so thought id ride around a bit to see if I could bed them in a bit more. good job I did it now as the pad compound came away from the metal backing (hence 'mini fail')

Now I need new ones. Your suggestions please?

They are original minis.

thanks long time 🙂

original hope pads. last ages – sintered is my preference

superstar. i've heard they are really good for that kind of thing.

Ive seen kool stop sintered for silly money. Take it theyre a pile of **** to be that cheap?

looks like I might go with Hope sintered.

disco brakes , been using them for 18 mths , no probs great value .

Whats the delivery time like on discobrakes as we are going on monday?

order tonight should get them saturday . usually very quick .

If you need them by monday then I'd suggest you buy whatever your lbs stocks.

Discobrakes are good but I think monday is pushing it even with their delivery times.

Cheap pads. Buy 4 sets for the price of one original set, get 3 times the maintenance, and slightly lower performance IME.
I've been on a single set of Hope pads for the last 18 months based at Afan. And with our grit, you can't ask for more.

In the interest of good quality ive ordered some sintered hopes.

Should be here Sat or Mon.

Thanks for your help.

After dabbling with various different cheap makes, I'll stick with Hope sintered from now on thanks.

Order Superstar now get them tomorrow – always been next day delivery for me. Sintered pads from them have always been great for me.

A2Z pads from Woolly Hat Shop have been excellent value and lasted well (sintered) – can't really comment on their effectiveness as they are on the commuter and don't really get tested that hard.
