Hookman49 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Ok, yes I did do a search and read a bunch of posts about pads. So, I would like opinions for pads for my needs. Do not want replacement pads that are rough on the rotors. A buddy recommends "friction preformance" but they don't seem to make them for the XX. On that same note I don't want pads that I have to heat up (I guess race pads?). I have no idea what pads are on the bike now. Is there a way to tell once I remove them? Should have looked last night when I mounted the new tires. Anyway, suggestions. Need to do this quick. Thanks, Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demon Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Galfer Green. Good grip and virtually no warm up time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffXX Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I also the Galfer Greens. Members of this site get a discount from one of the vendors if we mention this site by name. I know somebody will chime in with the vendor. I think it is cyclebrakes.com. The Galfer Greens are very soft on the rotors with good stopping power. I think Carlos or sombody has said thaey are a little soft when they get wet, but I don't think they are that bad - then again I am a pretty conservative rider when wet.

XXTi Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I'm using Galfer Blacks from cyclebrakes.com. They seem about like the stock pads to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJP XX Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Ken, Go with the EBC HH's. 83k miles and the rotors are still legal. Hang on the first time you grab them though. What a difference! Hope this helps! Great Day! John :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northman Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 EBC HH's here, too. I just don't install them in the rear, due to an already over-active rear brake on hard decels. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Using Ferodo myself. They offer a very nice progressive bite. Rotor wear, seems about the same as the stock pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
