Hi all, just wondering what pads people run . I run basic galfer black or other semi's for all run feel, etc  noise but only get 300 to 350 miles out of them , just pulled out some ebc ones at 179 miles. My son gets 700 to 1000 out of his hopes with same pads. Is it me dragging to much , pad hungry brakes or what.

Any ideas on what I should try for good  quite all round pads ??

Thanks Si

Galfer black in two sets. Get more mileage than with Uberbike race matrix but don't measure it. 

Do you weigh more than your son by any chance?

I've been using Uber bike race matrix or e matrix. Nice and quiet, haven't measured distances I'm getting.
