[lost_soul]

by the way EBC should be considered as one of the better brake pads around right? you know how much they charge roughly?

[pyro13]

to me, u dun need as good as EBC.. get stainless steel braided hose.. and a normal brake pad will be gud enuf..

 

a hose will cost u abt 30 at the sticker shop beside 219...

 

get tat and a cheap brake pad will sstill werk..

 

tats my view on it larh

dude, EBC Brakes someone selling in other forums...

 

20 bucks....

 

however, i'm not that sure if changing brake pads require bleeding of calipers.. haha...

 

anyone?

[lost_soul]

i need 'soft' brake pads. coz i v seldom use my brakes. i have been riding for more than a yr one my bike with 25K mileage and my stock brake pad is still thick. just that they hardened. that makes even slight braking will cause my handle bar to vibrate like as if they are breaking apart.

 

i am no fierce rider. i always slow down and rolled my bike to a stop. so i dun need a good braking system.

 

[Refugee]

you not racer like the rest doesnt mean you cant use good pads wot.... just need to have the dough!

 

btw... use back your stock organic pads lah...

[pyro13]

i agree.. stock is d best as some aftermarket caliper will eat ur disc

[lost_soul]

i think u all got mi wrong.

 

i am still using my stock caliper, my stock brake hose, and stock disc brake. all i wan is use EBC BRAKE PADs. the reason i dun wan to use my stock BRAKE PADs is because they are too hard and take v long to break in.

 

anything wrong with that? and no. changing brake pad no need bleeding of caliper i think. after all, also not changing brake hose.

[Ashcroftx]

True... !

[CarroTT]

i oso using EBC sintered

veli gud meh

damn fade resistant, brake all the way downhill oso still makan

 

But personally, EBC sintered fit on cub, nid to warm up the brakes a bit before it bites.

Cold morning, just out on road, not so makan yet

 

they say eat ur disc oso quite true, but more like texturize the disc surface. using EBC, the disc surface texture becomes very rough.

 

oso the stock pads, TOTALLY SUCKS

so easy overheat and totally fade

dangerous, man

[pyro13]

any other brake pads to recommend??

[musabay]

hi, thinking of fixing rear discbrake ? how much is it ah? pros and cons???

[lost_soul]

alright. so before i drop down to the bike shop and let them carrot me any archipariah brand of brake pads, which brand is good and "soft"?

 

coz my rear disc i suspect also wrap liao. when i brake sounds like and SBS superbus braking.

 

thanks for the replies.

[pyro13]

i tink u can just go for ebc.. but to me personally.. i will just go to any shp and tell them i wan change brakepad..

i recommend unique motorsports as they are very hoest..so if u go ter and tell them u wan soft brake pads..

u will get soft brake pads

[lost_soul]

alright. still haven't sleep ah.

 

somewhere this week i will make a trip down to have my brake pads changed.

[Ashcroftx]

hmm stock brake pads really sucks?

 

anyway i heard from my mechanic that

 

 

EBC brakepads dun have for cub..

[CarroTT]

sure got for cubs lar

 

oni dun make for spark 135

 

soution is, change the whole front brake system

 

for me the main problem is overheating and brake fade, the stock pads are fine, so so in braking power wise, but it cannot tolerate the high temperature and constant hard braking. Total fade of the front brake was a scary moment i had using the stock brakes.

Thank god for rear brakes, otherwise i wud have golek golek down the hill .

[Ashcroftx]

But well, i would say if you change a good brake line it will counter the

 

bad part of brakepads.
