EBC Sintered, tend to be the best for the money. OEM/Brembo/Carbon Lorraine may be slightly better but cost more. Avoid Goldfren or any generic no name parts.

You can't fit break pads it'll fail the MOT.

Brake pads would be better. Smile

I've run them for years commuting in all weather and haven't had a problem personally and yeah HH is Sintered.

I asked the forum for help with pads a wee while ago.

The following was returned.

(Requires site registration phaph)

sickpup suggested finding an equivalent from a Honda dealer. I had a go but cross referencing part numbers is a bit of a phaph too.
