STREET USE BRAKE PADS : a choice of world top selling organic brake pads (with
Kevlar® fibre) or heavy duty sintered metal HH brake pads, shown as the FA series in
the material selection columns 1 and 6. EBC’s sintered metal Double-HTM pads are
ideal for heavier and faster street use motorcycles and have longer life than organics.
ENDURO, MOTO-X AND QUADS : EBC offers three choices, one for each of these
markets. For Enduro (Tout Terrain) EBC offers its new red coated carbon graphite
formula pads with TT suffix (shown in columns 1 & 6). For moto-x use riders choose
between “R” suffix sintered metal pads or the latest MXS series sintered pads
complete with new slider pins shown in columns 2 and 7.

They give a good feel of what's happening out back ,and when the wheel is going to lock up.
You can go for harder pads, but the trade off is, less feel, and more disc wear.
My riding is about 20% off road to 80% on road, hunting for more Byways .

This guy wrote in saying that he had squeaky brakes so he sprayed them with WD40 and that whilst the squeaking had gone away his brakes wheren't as effective as before - what should he do?
