Anyone found a decent source of pads for the 'new' XTs?

CRC et al seem to have Ti backed XTR pads for a small fortune, which I presume are the right shape, but I don't really want to spend that much.

Dave

edit: not fussed about getting the ones with the cooling fins.

I think rosebikes had the finned XTR ones at a more reasonable price last time I looked. Nothing like the cheapness on superstar though!

Superstar S5, I've had Kevlar and Sintered, seem fine.

Its superstar's "S5" that fits the M785. Shown as XTRM985/M988 on their site.
Holding up fine for me in Peaks/Calderdale/Lancs grittiness.

thanks all... i was clearly being blind when I looked at superstar before (only spotted S1-4).

I had also forgotten that disco existed - I bought some pad from them yonks ago and remember being perfectly happy with them.

Ironically, I was very dissapointed with disco sintered in my juicys - just no power at all.

SS sintered and organic both been great.
