I have a set of the hope tech M4's and the brake pads squeal like pig when wet! I have used the search and can't find anything - so the question is what are the best brake pads on the market for the Hope tech M4's and WON'T squeal in the wet!! Sintered I have heard stop the squealing...is this right? Great if so, but then which are the best pads on the Market?
sintered hope stock pads for me 🙂 get em nice and hot to bed in but in the really wet weather most brakes squeal until they dry off no?
Goodridge Sintered. By a country mile
In the dry I think the standard resin pads grip the best but they are awful in the wet, both for lack of bite and squeal.
In my experience sintered pads don't have the same 'grab' as resin pads in the dry but beat them handsdown in wet and don't squeal as much. As foxyrider said, I'd recommend bedding them in (although some folks disagree). I've always used hope sintered pads so can't comment on any others.
Thanks guys - will have a look at the sintered hopes & goodridge pads then
if you can find somewhere that still has 4 pot shimano xt pads they're rather good and fit the hope system.
