We Tested Disc Brake Pads To DESTRUCTION – Is It Worth Spending More?
We put a range of disc brake pads through extreme tests to find out which ones truly deliver under pressure. From budget to premium, watch as we push each pad to destruction to answer the ultimate question: is it really worth spending more on your bike’s braking power? Whether you’re a weekend rider or a hardcore cyclist, this video will help you make the right choice when upgrading your disc brakes.
“Top Brake” ceramics. No chatter; no “turkey gobble”; no banshee screeching. Bedded in nicely. $44.
bunch of nonsense. There is no 3rd layer that does all the work. Metal is not a single element so bits transfer and vice versa, but that’s not what makes it work…
And Oil is a lubricant but since it only contaminated the pad and a not flooded, you get an in between that makes noise….
I had a pair of Serfas pads that lasted me a year and a half and over 6,000km of commuting. I think they were resin… Not sure. But they wash nicely
Then I got Shimano metallic pads and they are just horrible. They got contaminated once and they are trash. They spqueak no matter how much I spray them, scrub them and once I even purified them with fire 😂
Seems that the Chinese metallic ones are for the win! 5 euros for 6 pairs and it seems like they don’t have any problems!
you could test if “proper” bedding is needed, like some ppl recommend 20 brakes etc. under a full moon to perfectly bed in you brakes.. (or just riding, and if after a first 60 seconds braking brakes work good)
