Would just like to know peoples opinions on the different types of pads out there to suit a 7.5" disc 1100 roadie.

I was told drums have more surface area but discs obviously have very little maintenance so im wanting to go for something with the most bite. Changing pads wouldn't bother me so lifespan isn't really an issue

Thanks in advance for your comments

I've always used EBC Greenstuffs, but just from force of habit really! I live in the hills so they get a good workout and get up to temp quickly, but from reports for normal driving they may not get up to optimal operating temperature. Blackstuff's are meant to be better in this regard.

As for other brands I can't really help sorry.

Greenstuffs are the best pads I've ever had.
