I ride an ebike and after 1000 miles my rear brake was squeaking a lot... I watched a video by Park Tool and they put up a comparison regarding multiple materials. I live in a really dry climate (Arizona, US) so I picked organic. Not gonna lie, I've never swapped pads before in a bike, but I'm curious to see what happens. From what the Park Tool video was saying, organic is the most silent, but apparently offers the least wear resistance.

Thanks 🙏👍 Jeff - Sunny Central Florida

@mallias2683 3 года назад

Shimano resin pads lasts me aprox. 1000 Km/ pair. I never had fading power issues. I always alternate front/rear usage so that I can give them time to cool down. And I try to brake in short bursts rather a prolonged soft usage that builds up heat and smooth the pads.

@frankthetankricard 3 года назад

That doesn't apply on all trails. Sometimes it's just gnarly and steep for 5+ minutes straight and if you're not a world cup downhill racer you might need to have both your brakes applied more than you can let off to cool them down.

@frankthetankricard 3 года назад

@@mrrdhh I don't know where you got that resin is better for warm climates but it's not what the video said. Ambient temperature doesn't matter as much as how hard and long you are braking. Mixing different compounds sounds like a terrible idea for every day use. Only some of the professional racers do it and only some of the time they ride because they prefer the very slight difference in how it feels. It's quite a hassle for that little reward. Remember, they usually have a dedicated mechanic and a sponsor supplying the parts so they can swap in whatever they want several times a day every day. The different wear rates and uneven rotor wear would be a concern for prolonged use.

I just set up my bike with disc brakes for the first time in my life and I get a lot of shuddering along with mediocre brake power compared to my trusty rim brakes. And yes, I bedded them in. I'm running alligator windcutters with TRP spyre mechanicals which came with semi metallic pads. I agonisingly tinkered with every aspect I could think of to get the breaking power up and to reduce the shuddering as much as possible. while I've made some improvements, I still have barely adequate braking power and unbearable shuddering. I had to retighten my headset as a result. I'm scratching my head on this one. Do I need to switch to resin pads? Are wind cutters not compatible with the TRP spyres?

Other than letting more heat get to the calliper there’s absolutely no reason to not run sintered pads. I’m currently running trickstuff power pads which are definitely the best resin pads I’ve ever used. You can smell them when they get hot but they don’t seem to fade.

@fnorgen 2 года назад

The decal was missing a piece of a corner but I ended up peeling them off anyways. Assembly is easy BUT make sure you tune up the derailleurs. Both the front and rear need adjusting. I'd advise going to a bike shop but I opted out and put in 10+ hours with the help of RU-vid. Ended up fraying a shifter cable but all in all I learned from the experience. The Brakes work well but the front caliper needs adjusting or at least mine did because the rotor was rubbing against the pads. Make sure you swap out the seat, grips, and pedals. For the short run you'll be fine though. I've read that this bike isn't built yet for hard trails but I just need it for the city. PA has some of the worst roads and being in a mountain this was a great choice. Worth the investment!

ok so which one do you recommend ? lol

@RenaxTM91 3 года назад

I don't go as hard for as long as to warrant metallic pads, and they (both sintered and semi metallic) wear rotors faster. I just get the cheapest possible organic pads in packs of 5/10 pairs (comes out to only a couple $ a pair) and swap them when needed. Think I'm on the 5th or 6th set on my current front rotor, and the rotor's like new still.. only reason I swap rotors really is if they're bent out of shape or I've run my pads down to the steel..

Metallic pads are really not a good choice for most riding. Sintered, Kevlar/ Ceramic or semi-metallic are better choices

@tarstarkusz 11 месяцев назад

Metallic and semi-metallic brakes suck. Metallic disc pads suck horribly on cars. When cold, you basically have little stopping power. Asbestos pads are superior, but I don't think you can get them anymore.

@archetypex65 3 года назад

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Yeah I mean why bother with more advanced compounds with better heat dissipation? Oh that's right extend rotor life, extend pad life depending on which compound, stop in a shorter distance, resulting in a safer more efficient ride. 🤔 Yeah you're right why bother 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
