Better brake pads

Anyone know of a brake pad that doesn't cause as much dust on the rear wheel and back fender area. HD technician told me to push the cups in the caliper all the way back in and then pump them back up and this would help the problem but I don't see how.

RE: Better brake pads

That sold totally stupid. I think push them in to remove, pump them back out being carefull not to push the piston out, clean piston, push back in,reinstall.

The overwhelming consensus is Lyndall pads Z+ or Gold. Installing mine this weekend. Both of those are supposed to virtually eliminated dust and have much better stopping power.

RE: Better brake pads

I recently put on the Lyndall Z pads myself. I haven't had enough riding to notice the reduced brake dust, but, they don't squeal and they stop quicker.
