I've been using SC sintered pads all this winter, and TBH they've worn better and braked as well as Goodridge G star pads.

The original formulation sintered was shocking though. I think it took about 6 miles for one set, and about 10 for the second.

FYI UPDATE BELOW FROM SS AFTER I TRIED TO RETURN

Hello, normally when the pads appear too tight it is due to there being too
much fluid in the system from the last time it was bled or through moisture
absorption past the seals over time. The pads are all ground to the correct
thickness in the factory, and it is impossible to make them thicker than
intended by accident.

Try putting the old pads in and push back the pistons and then open the
bleed valve to let the excess fluid out. Then it should all work fine.
Another thing which happens is the pistons or the bore corrodes and prevents
the pistons moving back fully. This is calliper service time and tends to
happen on bikes put on bike racks and driven down the motorway at 70mph
gritblasting them.

I doubt there are any problems with the pads as this is the first report out
of several hundred sold. Any problems please let me know.

cheers

If you do return them please let us know how you get on. I bet you the price of a new set of pads that he tells you its your fault for not fitting them properly and no one else has had this issue

hahahahahahahaahhahhah quality response – hes obviously given up reading here as he always ended up feeding the trolls !

tj – tomorrow nights lottery numbers if you please !

Here we go again……………

How does driving down the motorway at 70mph grit blast your calipers?

Unless you're travelling to the trails through a sandstorm?

Don't remember the last time I experienced a sandstorm round these parts.

The sintered pads i got from them for my ultimates wouldn't even fit in the calipers! The back plates were oversized, so i had to file them down to fit, leaving nice bare steel to rust and bind! Can't complain to much though as they work well now and last long enough too! and they are cheapest out there!
