Brake Pads

[JamesC]

I need to replace my front brake pads. I do a lot of city riding in stop and go traffic so my brakes really get a workout. I know sintered seems to be the favorite amongst this crowd, but for my situation would they wear out the discs faster? I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I don't like the sintered pads, I think they are too hard on the discs. I get good braking out of the organic pads, and they seem to wear pretty well for normal use, including stop and go city driving. I don't think the suzuki rotors are made to be used with sintered pads.

The kevlar pads seem to give good wear and braking without the damage to the rotors.

Here is a good article on the differences.

Thanks Herb. You confirmed my suspicions. Plus I'll save a few bucks. Thanks.

I also prefer organic pads.
