more specifically shimano branded organic ones - is it normal for organic brake pads to feel a bit shite in the wet?? i dont mean wearing out the pad, just more so the actual bite, as last night i was out in an almighty storm, sintered on front, organic on back, and the front felt alot lot sharper when braking than the rear, almost felt like i was pulling back alot further on the organic brake pads, when in the dry they are both the same (lever travel)....is this a common characteristic of organic pads? i know that sintered last longer in the wet/mud but didnt realise they actually performed better too, just thought people didnt use organic in the winter due to the life of the pad rather than performance?
no I dont, how dare you!!
Front might have been generating more heat and drying out quicker/better
ok, thus meaning sintered are better in the wet/colder conditions? guess the metal sintered grip the rotor better in the wet/mud?
