I like the Lyndall Z pads but there are a lot of opinions out there. If you do them yourself make sure you use disc brake grease on the back side of the pads and on the pins so they won't squeek.

Guess Ill be the differing opinion then. I run EBC double H sintered pads on my night train they work really well for me.
