[Closed] New pads - avid elixir 5's - any recommendations?

Check out uberbike componants

Ashima SOS worked really well for me. They are a mixture of organic AND sintered friction material. Great for the mixed weather we have now! (great in wet and dry). Seem to wear very well too - much better than the standard avid organics. Tried superstar pads but they were poop (but very cheap).

Not the cheapest but if you get from Germany (action sports de or rose etc) they pretty good! Around £10 a set.

Buy mine from here......

worn well and brake well.

i've been using the cheapest i can find and they all work just as well (organic vs organic etc).

these when they were 12.74 for 4 pairs

or the organics from another seller (about £3 pair) when dry, look through my history or search forum.

there's always superstar/disco/uberbike etc which aren't quite as cheap but still beats any OEM/overpriced brand.

haven't yet had cheap pads (from any UK seller - might not trust some DX job) fail and often cheaper ones like wessex are thicker which is a good deal, as long as they don't cause you problems, which they probably will with elixirs..

cheers, enjoy the money saved on beer and parts that don't end up in the bin.

I've got Superstars Sintered in Elixir R front at the moment, perhaps not quite the initial bite of the originals but cant grumble at the price. I didnt bed them in at all, and they didnt bind or anything

Don't know whether to try Disco's next or stick with Superstars

I only buy EBC sintered, about £12 from merlin but last alot longer than any others i've tried and work great.

Adil.
