I've been searching through the thousands of brake threads, and most of them are organic/ceramic vs sintered metallic, with barely anything said about kevlar (+ves/-ves?).
Apparently there isn't any metal in the kevlar pads, but does that mean they will be suitable for my RESIN ONLY rotor?
I'm not riding downhill, but do ride some trails where some pretty heavy and sustained braking is needed. I guess I'm mostly an XC or AM rider (AKA noob)? I don't want to keep replacing the pads, so think the 'ceramic pro' on discobrakes wouldn't be a good idea. I sent an email to ask when they'd have the hard ceramic in stock but don't know if they even make it? Would they be a good option anyway?
So I can't have metallic or semimetallic - what would you use?
Thanks for having a look at yet another brake thread, I hope you can add a helpful reply
