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?

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?
