Team, I know this might go like a tyre or oil thread, but would like to know your experience with brake pads as I need to renew them. Any advise appreciated!

This could help you a bit on the way to your decision.

Rene,

I've recently fitted EBC HH pads to the rear of the outfit and I was so impressed with them that I've just bought a set for the front.

Paul.

Thanks team, I was wondering about the EBC HH, so guess that is what goes on. Have you got the number by any chance?

EBC no; FAO18HH

Motorworks no; BRA54724A

Paul.

Great, cheers Paul, pads on order.

Anyone know how the HH pads wear the K100 rotors? I think I read somewhere that sintered pads eat SS rotors; organic pads were supposed to be better in the rotor wear department but with less stopping power than HH pads and more brake dust created.

This us what I found...

What Compound Suits you?
Find what pad suits you by looking up your type of bike, along with the type of riding you mostly do.


BIKE COMPOUND
100-500cc Road Bikes
Commuting: Organic
Standard Brake Performance: Kevlar
Advanced braking and riding: Sinter
Occasional Track Visits: Sinter Sport (Coming Soon)
Track or very aggressive riding: Sinter Ultra (HH) (Coming Soon)
High Powered Sports Bikes
Daily Commute: Kevlar
Advanced braking and riding: Sinter
Aggressive braking and riding: Sinter Sport (coming soon)
Occasional/casual track use: Sinter Ultra HH (coming soon)

Cruisers
Daily Commute: Kevlar
Long Trips: Sinter

Organic Compound - The daily commuter
pad, a low budget alternative for the riders who tend to ride A to B
when excessive braking is not required. Not suitable for high powered,
heavy or offroad applications.

Kevlar Compound - A step up from
Organic, delivering great performance and a great pad that caters for
all bikes. Kevlar sits well as a commuter pad on high powered bikes and
great performing pad on lower cc bikes.

Sinter Compound - For every motorcycle
enthusiast who wants braking performance. These pads are designed for
rough treatment whether its in wet muddy conditions, or on a downhill
climb on a high powered road bike or cruiser.

Sinter Sport Compound- A step up from
the sinter compound, delivering even more 'bite' for the aggressive
riders who like to take corners hard, mountain tours or the occasional
track visit. A great pad for the advanced rider.(coming soon)

Sinter Ultra HH Compound - The highest of our range, for the rider who can't get enough of the track.

I hope this helps.

Interesting thought robmack,

I fitted my rear brake with a new EBC floating disc when I put the HH pads in so they should be compatible.

Today I fitted the front HH pads but I've still got Grimeca SS discs so I will see how they wear.

But I fancy a pair of floaters for the front so it could be a blessing in disguise if the SS discs wear out quickly

Paul.

Well I've clocked up over 400 miles since I fitted the front pads last Wednesday and, now they have bedded in to my discs, there is quite a noticeable improvement in performance, so I think the HH pads will be my choice in future.

Paul.
