Which brake pads?

[JoePeps]

My pads look a little past their best so just wondering what's recommended?
Mostly road riding but hoping for a couple of track days.

Oems are plenty enough but not cheap. Sbs again are more than enough for road riding and a lot cheaper. Would stay away from carbon sintered if road riding. Just my 2pence worth

Used SBS Race Sintered for the last few years and been really happy with them. They are ?42 an axle set for me (Monobloc) which is brilliant

OE were great but pricey used viper sintered pads from Demon Tweaks very cheap and worked very well

on my road bike i just stick to oe as they work very well for fast road. i do find it funny when people start talking about cheaper pads on there 10k+ bikes.

thanks lads

any ideas on prices for OEM?

I use brembo SC compound pads. No issue with them for spirited road riding and a few trackdays. Excellent initial bite even from cold. Don't really use them in the wet but not had any issues when I have. Not for commuting type use as they don't last forever, but a step on from the oe pads.

Carpimoto is where I buy them as they seem cheaper for brembo than anywhere else.

I've also used Goldfren s33 ceramic carbon racing pads and found them to be excellent http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S-100...019550?hash=item465a057bde:g:LukAAOSwYSlXg6f0

Not wishing to start a new thread (for risk of duplications) - but can anyone say if these are any good for general knocking about and the occasional 10 mins of being a knob (about every 11 mins or so ).. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-S1000...685625?hash=item25b6901439:g:e-oAAOSwWTRWvot8

OEM Brake Pads

I would personally just stick with the OEM brake pads.
