The pads on my juicy 7s are knackered and need replacing. what sort of pads would you recommend? i don't know what sort of compound i need nor whether there are different shapes/sizes. does a new set of pads include a new spring (to push the pads apart inside the caliper)? the old spring somehow got muched up by the brake last night :-S

thanks!

Cheap, work, last.

For me - OE or one of the major brands such as EBC or Carbon Lorraine. When pads are so cheap and so critical and then why take the risk?

I prefer sintered as well

cheers for the advice, what are organic pads used for?

will the separator spring thing come with the pads or do i need to get one from avid?
