Why do they only last a year?
Darrsi - which ceramic rear pads do you use ??

Upon fitting, the seals should be smeared with Red Rubber Grease as well.
Firstly it makes the pots easier to slide in, but will also prolong the life of the seals themselves.
I've been using SBS ceramic pads on the rear.
I've had Galfer pads on the front for years now, and they've been outstanding.
The pads have worn completely evenly, not crumbled in any way, and the discs look totally untouched. Admittedly i've never been a heavy braker but they really have served my bike well, taking into consideration i ride all year round in all weathers.
