We will be in touch
need some new pads does anyone have any recommendations for the type of pad for winter riding etc ( I have hope m4)
Thanks
Sintered pads are longer lasting, especially in muddy wet conditions. Try either discobrakes or superstar for a good price, or if you are a brand snob, by hope ones for 3 times the price!!
+1 for sintered disco brakes. £22 for 4 pairs approx.
no brand snob here function over form!
muchas gracias lads I I will order a couple of pairs of each as they are cheap as can do I little test then see what they are like against each other
I've found Aztec sintered to be better than Superstar
My winter sintered pads just arrived from Superstar with some unwanted Superstar stickers and some very much wanted Haribo!
Haribo with you brake pads? I bet I dont get that
I've had Haribo with all my recent Superstar purchases.
Pads, stickers and Haribo...serweet!
Usually put sintered on the front and some kevlar or organics on the back. I prefer the softer feel of the organics when braking traction is limited.
With Hope, personally I'd stick to OEM. They're high quality, and a pretty hard and durable compound. Expensive obviously but very good.
But personally I'll be using superstar kevlars in all my brakes, just like I do in summer- they're ace, and they're cheap, so. But in some very abrasive conditions they'll not last much longer than organics, and they can really squeal when cold if that bothers you.
