Hi. Another quick Q.
Replacing rear brake pads on K8 pointy. I have a habit of locking up the rear wheel (I know, I really need to sort out skills instead of hardware)

I'm looking at fitting either the DP sintered or the EBC pads that everyone seems to recommend. As I have a choice I thought I'd see if anyone would recommend one over the other for better modulation. I'd like to have more gradual brake response for slow riding instead of immmediate full on bite.

If anyone has experience of both, are they much of a muchness or is one more full on than the other? Cheers.
