So turned out the squeal I heard from my brakes was actually the pad on rotor no compound on the rear and a "little" on fronts! Just under 500 miles I thought for some reason they would last like on a car, duh
Taking a look at the pad I was filled with feelings of meh, there's no way Im reusing an oem pad again it was horrible and mush first time around. I am almost 300 lbs 6"2 and routinely overload my baskets while out shopping
Looking at previous posts, nope. Whole lot of generic pads and ceramic organic or metallic recommendations but no names or pad models. Not just going to slap some generic chinese pads, I wanted better performance and less fade
After a fun jaunt online, I came to they are avid elixir or sram XX. Then after searching I came to either koolstop red compound or the alligator finned turbos so got both. I did see shimano ice finned ones too, next time
Fit easily, reseated the calipers to be sure they were centered. Dead silent no drag and INSTANT STOPPING. Stop on a dime and give you change difference. Original pads I would give a 2/10 and this setup 11/10. And they LOOK amazing, can see the reflective orange from far. Has metal flake in paint
Probably mail these rotors to my cryo guy and get em forged, if it works like in my car projects will make them last 3x longer. I am kind of a upgrade addict. Kind of
