Mbot Posted December 21, 2009 Share What type of brake pads am I looking at for the avid juicy 5? The LBS told me that I wont find the originals and BBB makes some but I wont get them before January. Any other brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted December 21, 2009 Share Well I suppose if you can only get BBB in Jan then any brand will have to do for now . It is not so much he brand that you should be worried about but more if it will be metal or synthetic pads . One brakes better but does not last long , the other ones (metal) does not brake as well but last 10 times longer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbot Posted December 21, 2009 Share Is there a big price difference between the 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackie Posted December 21, 2009 Share The bigest difference between metal and resin is the following:Resin less noiseResin good in dry, *** in wetMetal lasts longerMetal prone to noiseMetal good in wetMetal last longerResin handles heat wellMetal fades with heatDepends on your weather conditions. For me living in KZN: Metal Summer, Resin Winter. IE Resin=Dry, Metal=wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
