Sintered pads are the arse.

Shop guy recommened the pads, sintered for front and organic rear, the rear work great, apparently I need to ride 1 million miles to bed in the sintered front pads.

I bedded the rear organic in in 10 minutes, the front sintered I tried to bed in like the organics, after 2 days they are still rubbish.

I swapped the rear organic pads to the front and I had front brakes again, cleaned everything again and put the sintered back in, aaaarrrrrgggggg, they are crap.

I rang the shop that recommend and supplied the pads and they said to bring it in, if this is normal and do need to do 1 million miles to bed in then they are going in the bin and being swapped out for organics.

Maybe it's the oem disc being to soft, maybe it's the sintered pad, maybe the world hates me.

Either way, it would be nice to have front brakes when riding to work, the sintered pads have not impressed me.

Funny thing is it's the first time I've ever used sintered pads, its always been organics.

That's what I get for trying something new.

Not real impressed ATM.
