Need to replace pads, I've used them before and all ok. Anything else worth looking at nowadays?

Ive not used anything other than Uberbike Race Matrix for a few years now and not been dissapointed.

Infact I think the only disappointing pads Ive had recently were uberbike sintered (but then are sintered pads ever not dissapointing?). And the OEM pads in my Sram Guides which squeal like a banshee once warm and absolutely scream in the wet.

Just had a look at Uberbike, thanks, I'd not heard of those. Unfortunately out of stock.

Really depends what you want from a brake pad and what brakes they're for.

I really like OEM for my Hope brakes as a good combination of life and stopping power but they do need bedding in properly.

I hear really good things about Truckstuff and Rahox but they're not cheap.

Onzadog, they're for my commuter/bimbler bike. Don't want to spend a fortune. Sram Rival brakes. Probably just stick with EBC, was just wondering if anything else was worth a look.

EBC are good.

Fibrax are good.

These people say that you can have your money back if you don't like their pads.
