Hi all, it seems Avid pads dont last particularly long, and with my GF now getting some avid discs, I think it would be a good idea to buy in bulk.
Anyone know best place for getting them at a decent price. I wish I could get them from Ebay, as they like $8/ea (£4),instead of £13 here, but all the stores only ship to US.
Additionally, I know I have read it before, but whats the pros/cons or organic/sintered?
sintered last longer. I use sintered Avid pads. I think if you are a downhillist or alpine rider then you may get issues with the brakes heating up with sitered pads.
Fibrax's sintered worked wonders with my old Hope C2's and the pad life was up to nearly a year with one set. I'll be using them with my Avid's when the time to replace arrives.
Have you tried a shop called bikefridge on ebay? They seem to have avid pads on for £20 for 4 pairs. I've just ordered 4 x pairs of pads for my giant mph and they seem okay.
I have used avids own organic replacements and got pissed off when they lasted one ride round rivington in shitty conditions. so looked into sintered pads, I ended up getting some fibrax sintered pads off ebay for £10.70 delivered with springs thrown in aswell. i think the seller was marksvwshop or something. Personnally i have not noticed any difference in performance between the 2 compounds yet the sintered pads are looking to last me quite a while.
