Brake pads?

Can anyone help. Came across ones that say 'carbon ceramic' and ones that say 'sintered'. What's the difference and what's best :thumbsup: Sorry for my shit question :bag:

 

This might help:

Personally I always used SBS or EBC.

On my YZF-R125 I used these:

Rear http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EBC-FA377...pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item565bd01121

Front http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-EBC-F...pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts_13&hash=item2c9715857d

Don't buy cheap brake pads!!! The previous owner of mine bought some 'Kyoto' or something - the rear pad snapped whilst I was going around a round about. Not fun

 

Thank you! Think I'll go for sintered

 

Bendix all round great pads bug I've not used them on a 125 Don't the cc will make a difference like

Ebc is what most folk use

 

General statement: Like many things, do you really want to rely on something that's developed and made to cut costs ie dead cheap when you put your life in its "hands". Brakes ... Defo go for a bit of quality.

I'd go for sintered too

 

Thanks Yeah wasn't planning in going for cheap ones :dead:

 

I tend to cut mine from balsa wood bought at the local hobby store.
Saves loads of weight and plenty pennies

PS The above is tongue in cheek, use 'wooden brakes' at your own peril

 

Prefer sponge tbh

 

Worth noting I think is that a lot of the time the best pads you can get are original equipment for a standard brake set up (Honda are a good example) - EBC seem good but aren't always the best.

If your bike has its own forum try and look on there for recommendations. Some brands of sintered pad can be a bit harsh and can wear out your discs so go for a good recommendation.

On standard calipers and disks you can go cheap with SBS / EBC or pay in the middle and get originals - Brembo also offer good all round performing pads...

 

Got a yzf r125 so brembo callipers. Seen the brembo pads for £33

 

I opt for organic or non sintered. The disc last longer.

 

I use EBC HH... them buggers will flip ya over the bars!

 

More fun lister

 

I've only ever used them EBC HH tbh, not used anything else. So would't know about the others..

 

I'll need to pick some up soon. Along with a new disc

 

What year is the bike???
