Brake pads

Anybody ever hear of running 1 organic and 1 metallic pad on your disc'os brake'os? Supposedly it offers better modulation and grab for mech brakes. Any thoughts?

Ah wanna kow ketcher fur mah truk.

My thought....


WEIRD

I've never heard of it. If your getting new brake pads anyways for front and rear, get 1 set of each and if it doesn't work well, tell us and stick the pairs together

if any of that made sense

Haha, I'm gonna say haha after everything I say. haha
This is so amusing. haha

it reduces noise and increases power. The sintered metalic pads are quieter but have less grab and the semi metalic are noisy as hell and have more grab. so it works out.
