TNOSE_E Posted February 12, 2010 Share Hi All A question on Disk brake pads. What are the differences between the types of material used? This is worse than shopping for bread at Woolworths! MetalSemi - MetalicResinSinteredCeramicOrganic Breaking power?Heat buildup?Wear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted February 12, 2010 Share Metal will last longer not the same braking power as the rest (but that is marginal) Semi - Suppose it is half breed between metal and resin Resin is soft and will not last that long (in rain it wears supper quick) but it's got better stopping power. The rest ??? Never used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manbearpig Posted February 12, 2010 Share Sintered metal is what is used in most racing car clutches so i'd imagine thats pretty good although i wouldn't even know what my pads are made of........ organic sounds cool if you bonk in the middle nowhere you can lie down under a tree and smoke your pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johan Bornman Posted February 12, 2010 Share Metal, semi-metal and sintered metal is all the same stuff. Metal shavings comperessed at a temperature just below melting point of the softest metal in the matrix. Organic - the latest boelsh*t word. Woolworths bread - get the green packet.

techguy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Organic is another way of saying resin. Just get metal pads they last the best and brake fine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
