Euphemism list: "endura,trail,organic,ceramic,sintered,aggressive,burly"..
different claims , for sure, anything wrong with just getting Avid, same as original, replacements ?
No suggestion, you racing off road? or just commuting?
You and the seller should talk over the Phone, I expect.
it's their stocklist.

Well the avid ones don't seem to last too long, also I want to see if I can get better performance with other pads. I'm commuting.

Sintered pad will wear the disc , probably, more than the 'Organic' friction material
but avid discs are cheap too .
Im just now purchasing my 1st Disc Braked Bike , it's got BB7 calipers on it, guess Ill learn for myself.
Koolstop is an Oregon Company that makes bicycle rim and disc brake pads.
I'd go for the Goodridge sintered pad, Goodridge is an automotive brake company.
Nuke Proof is Ironic for a Japanese Company, now.

Ebc makes a variety of after market brake pads for varied conditions. If you can get 6 months on normal pads then the downhill pads are about 2x as strong in stopping power but are gone in about 4 months. This is all around riding including downhill on a 43 lbs. full suspension Specialized bighit mountain bike.

Would go for Superstar pads, a lot cheaper than the CRC ones, and just as good.
Part A4 is for the BB5's
