Re: Brake pads
Good afternoon.
EBC HH are pretty good all round. A high friction pad will only wear the disc out faster if you use the extra braking they provide all of the time. Cheers. |

Re: Brake pads
I use the 'green' pads, they are really soft so minimal disc wear ... they also don't need any heat to start working so good this time of year ...

Re: Brake pads
I like Carbon Lorraine A3+, but to be fair I have a fair bit more brake than an SV so the reduction in power over HH or similiar isn't a problem. They're more consistent, they last forever and they don't seem to wear discs much, all in all a good thing.
