Title: HH Sintered Pads changed braking 'feel'
Post by: apage16 on 27 April 2014, 05:15:55 pm

Hey all.


I've recently bunged a set of Ferodo HH sintered pads into the front of my FZS.


Problem is, the brakes now feel horrible. Really snatchy and rough.


Is this normal for sintered pads? If not, looks like the discs might be warping.


Guy I bought the bike off said they were new last year, so hopefully not. But then he lied about other things too. There was no gold stashed in the fusebox....

Probably just need bedding in if they're new.
They do tend to feel different to organic pads which are softer though.

If you had warped discs you would really know for sure, so i doubt very much it's that!

 Really snatchy and rough.

Try thinking more along the lines of responsive and sharp.

Ferodo sintered are the best I've used, especially in the wet!

they are harsher than organic but I prefer bite up front so sintered but softer for back brake so organic

I also fitted EBC HH to replace my old pads, felt very twitchy to start with , but after 200 miles feel very progresive and safe.  They take longer than you think to bed in.   
Agree organic on the rear  :lol
