Brake Pads

[Rorschach]

I’m sure this has been done before, but I can’t work the search on Tapatalk, so here we are…

I need some new pads and rather than buying the stock Shimano ones, I want to try something new.
I’m running TRP brakes, ride mostly in the dry and tend to drag my brakes a bit (a habit I really can’t get out of) so want something a bit more hardwearing.
Question is what to get and where from?
What’s everyone else running?

Grab some Uber Bike pads, either race Matrix or E-Matrix. They have freeship offers regularly and you also pay no VAT at checkout.

Was using Trickstuff Power for a several years but the Uber pads are around the same power, cheaper and harder wearing.

Got a new 4 pack of E Matrix here for when the Race Matrix wear out.

The discount code thread

UBER20 for 20% off at Uberbike. Good man ! Thats a funny website, you buy £45.99 worth of pads, then it tells you £38.33 in checkout. They are subtracting 20% VAT without mentioning it anywhere. So we actually get 20% off, then 20% off, then add £9.99 postage.

I use these in my TRP brakes and like them (surprisingly - normally I'm not a fan of resin pads). They're hard wearing, last a while and easy to decontaminate. Will contribute a fair bit of banter if the discs get wet, but if you're not riding in the rain it's fine.
