Brake pads

[darrsi]

I don't really understand why all the 600 guys want to put the blue spot caliper on the back of their bikes. Ok, so I haven't ridden a 600 in a long while, and can't remember what the back brake is like, but even with standard pads, the blue spot is too much really; or at least, I find it to be. And that's on the heavier thou. Brilliant on the front though.

I've deliberately stuck with my 600 caliper on the rear because of the things you say, you really don't need it locking up all the time, and as long as it's maintained regularly it's perfectly good enough for the job.
