tyres sorted...........now for brake pads
#1
now some unbeleivably cheap corsa rosso's will be gracing my bike shortly, it's time to look at the front brakes.
brembo race (£95) to kyoto (£18).
neither of those will be gracing my bike. i've used goldfren before and they were fine, but wondering about sbs/carbon lorraine.
anyone care to share!

SBS 'street excel' on mine & work fine.
EBC HH also seem to pop up regularly as recommended replacements

Think there's another brake pad thread on this new site already

EBC 'HH' for me, always used EBC with all my bikes, right back to when I used to buy brake shoes! Can't fault 'em, having said that others have rated SBS highly. There is  another post on here somwhere on this subject.

I have Carbon Lorraine (A3+ I think) on mine and they are fine, having said that though when I had a new front tyre couple of years back the last set fell to bits when the fitter took the front wheel out, delaminating is the word I believe, dread to think what coulda happened if one of the friction bits had fallen out while riding.

I have a set of CL AK they are ok , need a lot of lever pressure and have a  more gentle intial grab than HH.

I,ll be replacing with something else, did the Goldfren thing on ST4s and they were fine.
