Wonder if the changed the formula on them. I've got some that I've had for several years. No dust issues at all. They have 18k miles on them now. They seem to be lasting way longer then the stock pads and don't cost much more, if any. Lyndall is having a March blow out sale. All their rotors are only $350! Such a deal....

I hear Tampax makes some nice pads, do you have excessive dust and cramping or just the dust??
jk, bored today

When I bought my PM calipers I was gonna change the pads to the Lyndall Pads straight away. But since the calipers came with brand new pads I figured I'd wait and save my self some coin.
Glad I did after reading these reviews. Whatever pads come with the PM calipers are pretty damn dustless. I have none of these problems. They do have a tendency to squeal a little at time though.

LOL
Dean, wondering if it's making a difference with your pads wearing & making more dust than they advertise due to you running them on stainless rotors? Just a thought?
+1 with Tom though, whatever pads came with my PM's seem fine at present!

Good to know, thanks for posting NC. I was reading up on these pads over the weekend and ready to order. But my specific year & model isn't listed on their site. I sent them an email Sunday asking for the part numbers for my bike. No response. Re-sent that email yesterday and received a blank response. I replied to the blank response letting them know it was blank, and still no response.
Then to see they're no less break dust than OEM?
Screw em, I'll pass.

just put some on my front last summer and Yes I have noticed a big difference.. Less dust.
If Urs is on the rear U will still get more road dust on the rear than the front.
I am going to install them on the rear on next change,
I like them better than the stockers, don't think there all that much better on stopping. No noise.
I am hoping for longer brake life, we see, I can't complain of the HD pads, the front lasted 30 K on our Heritage and I use the front a lot more than the rears the way we ride on country roads to slow down.
Oh and the rears only go about 15K

I think I am going to put the stock PM pads in for a little while since I didn't even try them out. The Lyndall pads were a fu(king total waste of money in my opinion, for 6 piston calipers and a larger master, The PM's don't feel any better than stock and with black rims, the "dustless" pads blow enough **** on them after 1 ride to turn the entire rim gray by the end of the night...
