What do you use the bike for?

Are you an all weather/year rider?

How many miles do you do?

Afternoon all.

EBC HH work well, (I've sold thousands) & what's more they're usually cheaper the Carbon Lorraines.

Cheers.

HH's ate my discs in about 20k. The Carbonne lorrianes however have identical stopping power (I cant tell the difference anyhow and i have done over 50k on my bike) and are much kinder to the discs.

Id go for the carbone lorraines (Std compound...SK3 or something iirc)

Hein Gericke pads used to be re-badged Carbone Lorraines. Not sure if they still are. I always used those and they were good.
