pads......and why ?
TIA 🙂
sintered for longevity Hope originals
what have more initial bite ? Sintered ?
Sintered for winter mud & grime.
Kevlar if dry and dusty
<edit> organic or kevlar will have more bite </edit>
using sintered on xc bike and normal on biggun. sintered seem to last me better.
I am however tempted to try SS kevlar pads, even though I swore I'd never touch SS pads again after getting several from "that batch" I'm hearing good things about these kevlar jobbies and holding a grudge isn't really worth it.
Sintered - because organic don't last long (two weeks max).
Ive also had trouble with warping rotors that I put down to organics. Could be wrong about that.
My understanding is that metalics need to warm up a bit before you get the full power.
Organic bite better, sintered last longer. Kevlar supposedly the best of both but IME a decent compromise.

Where are you riding (and how often?). I found that was the case back in the early days of disc brakes but we get really good life out of Hope organic pads now.
