There are some very good semi-metal or organic pads out there. Sintered are just quicker for the manufacturer to produce.
Personally in the rear I wouldn't bother with sintered. A semi-metal or organic pad is more than good enough.
You can pick up Galfer semi-metal pads for £14.95 on eBay and they're a very good pad for the money. ____________________ My Flickr |

Mine is an utterly ludicrously over complicated system with the rear brake pedal operating the rear brake and 2 of the four pistons in the right hand front brake caliper. Add into this some sort of smart balancing between the front and rear calipers, independent front and rear ABS plus traction control you can see what a fuck off nightmare Triumph have created.
OK, it works. It will stop the bike but why oh why can't we just have front brake on the handlebars and rear brake on the pedal. The ABS/Brake 'brain' costs £1171.17p
FFS, If I still have the bike when that dies it's cgoing to get a conversion to a simple brake system.
As for my rear pads, I'll try those semi metal that Wafer_Thin_Ham suggests ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
