    Morning…I need some brake pads to fit SRAM Force brakes.

    Where’s the best (cheapest!) place to get 2 pairs?

    Ive always liked the Alligator ones, have a look on XCRacet or Mt Zoom, they’ve got an eBay shop too. Last ages and decent power

    No idea if they do SRAM Force though but worth a look

    Second recommendation for Uberbrake…my go to as the pads work well, last a decent length of time and are a good price.
    Been using the ebike (blue) pads and I think they are better than the race matrix (white) ones which I found to be the best…so the ebike ones seem to now be my go to pad of choice.

    The Vandorm pads from Bikeparts.co.uk are good value, work well and seem to last too.

    The only time I’ve struggled with uberbike pads was in the alps as a brake dragger when I totally cooked them and the discs. But that’s probably my bad habits to blame rather than the pads. I’ll be using the blue compound ones this year with a bit more care.

    Another happy Uberbike customer here, I’ve nearly run out of a pile of thier Kevlar ones which seem good.

    Ran Uberbike for years, then found Galfer (green), sold all my Uberbike pads the next day.

    been using cheap ones for a few years now but decided to try Galfer G1554T PRO for my saints. They were superior in every way in terms of braking.

    Best? Currently for me, Galfer. Cheapest, whatever you can find on Aliexpress. That aside, I’ve found the EBC pads from Merlin a good balance of price and performance. Never been that impressed with Uberbike, I had a succession of nasty, noisy ones, but maybe that was a bad batch or something. Or go OE.
