Brake pad question

[sid.]

Best pads for a 950 adv, sintered or is it organic (??). I'd say 80% road and a bit of light off road, got a trip to the alps in September. Doing front and back together the disc's look good. Any advice gratefully received. Cheers sid.

I use these http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/141688145962?_mwBanner=1
Last about 4-5k depending on dirt or road. Dirt less road more.

In my old.690 i used sintered up front and organic rears as i found the back locked easily so had the more progressive pads in baxk...

Galfer are a good make i used for years...clean the pins and sliders too..

sintered front standard for rear works well

I changed the original pads for Goldfren sintered and while the fronts worked ok the back brake just about stopped working, it was so bad I couldn't lock up the back wheel at all, tried the originals back in and it worked fine again so it was defiantly the pads.
Early 950Adv.

Thanks for the replies, I've ordered sintered front and rear. The pads arn't that bad but while i've got it all apart i'd thought i would do them so i can forget about them for a bit, Ref the rear bake, i'll see how it feels and could always put the old pads back in and order the organic ones.

I put a set of those gold fren pads into an St 1300 , Crap !! Would have been better with bits of plywood
( And a front disc warped which I never had before on a fair milage on 2 of these bikes )

:whistle: Have you tried maxi pads or those slimline panty pads more suited to your riding me thinks (only kidding brother)
