Fazer Brake Pads (Sorted - £33.22 EBC HH Sintered)

[Andy_Pagin]

They're getting a bit low, so what makes/types should I look for without spending stupid money, the 'best' ones are about £44 for four, which seems a bit over the top for mundane commuting?

£44 for front brake pads? Well, you could get them cheaper, but its a bit like sticking a 10 year old tyre on you bike.

I use £15 for 2 sets of front pads... I've never really had an issue with commuter braking.

I'd choose a sintered pad for better performance in the wet, although they don't offer the initial bite of the organics.

I've dabbled with different brands and like the current big brand sportstouring tyres it pretty much comes down to personal preference as they're all pretty good.

my local dealer only carries EBC in stock .. but his prices match on-line or better .. and £45 sounds about right for hh sintered.

Currently using Galfer semi metallic up front on my FZS they are quite very good don't fall to bits around the edges like other brands wear evenly and are very long lasting with plenty of stopping power not too bitey just right. Also excellent in the rain. They can be purchased from Calsport on eBay I paid £30 IIRC for the full set £15 each not fake either.

SBS ceramics are also very good pads but not as kind to the discs like the Galfers I do prefer the feel of SBS pads though.

definitely sintered

thought my gen 1 fazer brakes were ok until the first time I stripped them and one pad on each side was completely stuck, after that I nearly went over the bars the first time I used them in anger

I treat pads a bit like oil,
Buy it cheap and change regulary,
Although im pretty easy on pads,

Pads have never made a difference to me, but I rarely need to stop in a hurry
