Pads, anything like EBC HH (If you are a low milage user, as they are hard on discs) or Cabonne Lorraine A3+ pads. There are toerh brands but those are the only 2 i have expierence of.
Not sure if this is to do with the hoses or just the fact a renewal of brake fluid was necesary but I know andybrad's struggled with his brakes pretty much since he got the bike, had them serviced, changed the fluid and bled numerous times and wasn't happy with them until he swapped his hoses.
