Brake Pad Replacement

[darrsi]

Gnasher's bit above - brilliant, I picked up a couple of bits there  :thumbup

a couple of months ago having done a bit of reading and looking at previous posts on here I took what I hoped was an educated guess and went for these Galfer G1054 compound ones for both the front and back. [People mention Galfer but don't often mention which composition] these are 'semi-metallic' aka sintered
Calsport seem determined to call them 'HH' but galfer site says they are 'GG' friction rated, I still have the packets at home & will try and remember to have a look .... either way I find them very good and better than what was in before especially from a cold wet start and very predictable. My old ones were shit while wet.
I have only done a couple of hundred miles (Guernsey's a small island  :\ ) so I can't speek for their longivety, but Darrsi has praised them in that regard many times and says they are kind to the rotors aswell.

There is a comparison of Galfers compounds
http://www.galfer.eu/index.php/en/produc...brake-pads

and a bit of the blurb :-
'The 1054 compound is the workhorse of the Galfer brake pad family. It offers progressive feel and feedback and is GG rated which makes it a great all round brake pad. This compound is available for front and rear calipers'

They're an absolute steal at that price, and they just don't seem to wear out, or do anything to the discs.  :thumbup
