The cables I changed purely as a precaution, nothing wrong with them, just didn’t want a failure to spoil any trip I might be on. Buy cheap, buy twice is still relevant I think. Plus the fact the job has to be done twice.
As for brake pads, i've used SBS Ceramic on the rear and Galfer on the front for ages, which have both served me very well. But i couldn't find the Galfer pads at a sensible price last time so gave the Street 634HS SBS pads a go for the front after reading advice on here over the years and i must confess i'm liking them a lot so will stick with them from now on. They were even cheaper than the Galfer pads too, which was a nice bonus. 8)
