I'm running a High Roller on one set of wheels and that seems like a reasonable rear tyre.

I had and Aggressor on the rear of my old Norco Sight. That went well too.

Wasn't there a bit of a trend a while ago for assegai up front and aggressor out the back?

Anyone used the Uberbike E-matrix pads?
They're saying they're the next step up from Race Matrix. I've stuck with what I know this time, but curious to see if they are all that.

Not Uberbike but I have tried Galfers. ‘Ebike’ pads are obviously designed to stand up to heavier braking and last longer so the compound seems to be harder, I found they don’t bite as nice as you’d like but still had bulk power, work best when warmed up and they are hella noisy until they are.
I imagine any Ebike pads would be made with similar properties.
I think putting them on an xc bike is overkill and you’ll probably like them less than your normal pads. But don’t let me get in the way of spending money!

Money is already spent! And there is no such thing as too much brake.
They "claim" they're better at everything. Mucketing maybe?

I don’t think it’s about too much braking power it’s more about trade offs. It you want a pads that will pull up an Ebike and not wear out in a week there’s going to be trade offs. And I’m sure there’s some mucketing in that claim but let us know how you go!

Yeah, I've used a few pairs. They seem a little less noisy than the race matrix, not any less power and get to temp slightly quicker.
I'm pretty sure they changed the formula for the race matrix a year or 2 ago. All the sets I've used since then have been noisy and don't seem to last as long. The pad surface looks different as well.

That’s interesting. I’ve had three sets of race matrix over the years and they were all so noisy I had to take them off. So from your description the E pads are better overall ?

Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
That's weird. I'm the absolute worst use case for them and they have all been pretty quiet for me. Much quieter than the howling I tend to get from organic pads I look at.

I'd say so, yes.

Lol. I only really need the power when I race away from home three times a year. The rest of the time it's just that initial grab I love.
Moral of the story, pad wear isn't a thing where I normally ride.

Not really anything new, but does anybody know if there is a company bringing out anything like this? An adaptor to turn your Makita battery into a dyson battery with an adaptor, went to order one at the local Uni 3d print space and thought surely someone must be doing this for E-Bikes?
**Dyson make some sick Ebikes
Where might one acquire such a device? I've got a dyson at work and the little battery...it can't always keep up.
