Brakes

Taking the wheel off my bike the other day gave me the opportunity to inspect the brakes closely and they need doing sooner rather than later.
Are there any particular makes to go for, or avoid?

I usually use EBC pads,as it's what Steve Lynham sells and they've been good so far .

[Wes]

SBS are a top brand, i use them on road and track, avoid gold fren, they're cheap for a reason

Avoid Kyoto pads. Ok in the dry but in the wet they basically do nothing.

EBC's

Thanks everyone, will have a look at those. Roll on payday lol

EBC 'HH' pads, they're the sintered ones, the organic ones are a bit sh1t.

Anyone able to recommend a website/shop where I can purchase bike parts? I got a discount code for sportsbikeshop.co.uk when I took out my insurance, but ordering from them has so far been a complete shambles and I'm reaching my limit of patience with them.

eBay

EBC; I always think it best to stick with known good brands for brakes and tyres. Have a look on eBay (best to check where they're coming from) and specialists for your bike.

Do you know what pads you need? I've a full set (both sides) of FA265HH in the shed, unopened, your's for £30.

Thanks for the offer Mitch, but it's the FA236 on the Sprint.
