Organic pads :lol

EBC Organic pads are soft as shite, but will create a bit more dust as they wear so you need to maintain the caliper "at least" once a year, nothing major just a scrub up with brake cleaner and a toothbrush around the exposed pistons, then protect with more red rubber grease to prevent any siezing up.

I would of thought they just put cheep ones in, so I already could have ebc organics, so a new braided line would still be better than I want :\

It's all down to how you ride, I prefer a bit of bite on the rear when I'm in traffic just for control purposes, which is most days as it's a commuter bike for me.

Castrol Fully Synthetic 5W30 A5 would be best, just be careful you don't get it on the rim, it will be ok on the tyre, especially the front :rollin :rollin
