Brakes? Which pads?
Time to replace my brake pads. What type of pads do I need. Kevlar, Sintered, Ceramic or a combination? My riding style is mostly crusing. Not all that agressive. I will and have ridden in the rain but would rather not. Got 17000+ on OEM and have pad left but figured I would just change both wheels out over winter.
I'm ready to learn here, guys. Teach me!!

Just installed a set in my bikes two weeks ago, Lyndall Z pads,, after the 2k trip I just got back from,,, I am sold on them.
don't fade as easy in twisty's and better than MoCo's stopping power,, supposes to last longer, and what I really like is that they don't emit hardly any dust, at least VS the HD pads and they are about the same price, $49.. but U can find better price on Amazon per axle..
do break them in as any new brakes should be. don't overheat them first `100 miles.

Also the new style has two grooves that does better in the rain, there is still some of the older style out there that doesn't have the grooves. Picture below----- just check which one ur getting.
