Megasack Giveaway Day 11: Sinter Brake Pad Bundle

Stop what you’re doing. Halt. Arrête! Actually, no, carry on, you’re in the right place. Today’s prize is certainly a show stopper!

Friday 15th December: Sinter Brake Pad Bundle

Value: £54.99 for combo pack
From: Sinter

Brakes pads from Slovenian friction specialists, Sinter. Who only make organic pads. OK? Organic pads are comprised of different types of fibres and materials. Sinter says it’s a bit like baking a cake ‘small changes to ingredients or combinations can result in significantly different braking characteristics’. Fibres such as kevlar, ceramics, clay minerals and carbon are combined with resins to make each pad, with its own special properties.

They reckon their green pads are ideal for those who like to brake late and hard – and want their brakes to be silent. The blue pads are a little longer wearing, best used for on the back where you might end up dragging the brakes on steep stuff, or perhaps on an e-bike where there’s a lot of weight to stop.

Sinter has been making specialist ‘friction solutions’ for 55 years, bringing stopping power not just to mountain bikes, but to motorbikes and go-karts too. They only make organic pads, because they reckon they’re better: they give more feel, don’t wear out your rotors as fast, and they are better at heat dissipation. Plus, they’re quiet – so no one can hear when you’re braking when you really shouldn’t be!

The daily prize winner will get a blue/green combo pack to suit their brakes, while the Megasack winner will get 10 pairs of green pads. Plus you’ll both get a few other Sinter goodies, including some cool stickers.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
