About replacement disc brake pads
I know nothing about disk brake pads but need to replace the ones (M08) on my Shimano cable discs for my all-weather urban bike.
There is Shimano brand and various 3rd party manufacturers.
Organic vs sintered vs combinations.
What is the best performance/best value type to use.
From what I can tell, brake pad performance includes:
initial bite
fade
noise
durability
contamination (removal)
I'm a lightweight rider in gently rolling terain.
I'm not too concerned about heat conduction, I dont use my brakes that hard and I dont have any hydraulic fluid to boil.
Does anyone have a summary of pad performance/selection.
