I’ve used Ubyk’s pads for years, and always found them good quality/long lasting etc.
Does anyone use any other suppliers with any success?
ubyk are not uberbike?
Uberbike - they have 30% off at the moment too, i like the race matrix pads.
Ah, my mistake......I’ll get right on to them
OEM pads, my Shimano ones are just about done on XT8000, had them in for 20 months now, IIRC ye can get them for about 8 quid a pair.
I've found XCracer.com to be reliable - only used twice so far mind but they've been fine.
I have been using a company called disco brakes for some years now. Lots of compounds to try and the quality/ longevity is good to. At about £20 for 4 pairs I always carry a spare set with me and another in the car. I can usually get 12 months out of one set but change them anyway as they work out so cheap. They do lots of other stuff to for brakes like adaptors and discs.
If you have been using Uberbike for years and been happy why bother changing them especially with the discount offer

I couldn't agree more. They are even less than that and sometimes £4 on Amazon, just fit and forget no bedding in... Far far better than Uberbike kevlar IME on those calipers IME which never really bedded in well.
Just to confuse things...
I'd go with TK Maxx now that Woolworths have gone.
