*_Which pads do you ride? And which pads are you wanting to try?_*

I try to always run metalic ever since mud/clay destroyed my new organic pads and the oils seept into the pads even after sanding them alot and using rubbing alcohol on pads and rotors. Plus more power babbbyy!!! But im curious on ceramic since i went outa my way to swap from shimano xt to trp dh brakes (rear only) on my trail bike just for modulation when i lacked some skills and patience. Could be a cheaper option thats worth it. Maybe install in rear only to prevent lockups

We are missing a very important safety part here. Cheaper brakes like MT200 are not compatible with metallic pads, they don't have ceramic pistons to contain heat so your oil will start boiling on long descends up to the failure point. Never put metallic pads on your brakes if they are not designed for it if do any serious mountain riding.
@jimwing.2178 Жыл бұрын
Likewise, the compatibility of the brake discs is critical. Some discs cannot withstand the heat generated by metal pads. Shimano has a compatibility chart online. Best to check for yourself rather than letting bike shop employees make assumptions.

Sintering does not involve any liquid material. In this case it is powdered metal that is subjected to pressure to make a pad.

I got the MTX Red for Shimano and for sure better braking power than the Shimano ones. HOWEVER, in wet conditions they are LOUD. Total the opposite of what they saying that are less loud than the organic ones. I have been using it for more than 6 months actually and still doing it. But in dry conditions, MTXs are the BEST!

I'm not a fan of, in my experience, the lack of initial bite of the metallic pads. Once they warm up, they're awesome. Organic pads just don't last for me and I've experienced brake fade with them when riding DH. MTX reds pads are AMAZING! That's all I use and recommend nowadays... *currently running Zee calipers with Saint levers

I've just bought some ceramic brake pads for my ebike a week ago. They still haven't arrived, but they should be ALOT better than the resin i've been running. For an ebike that weighs around 60kg, they need last a bit longer than the resin ones. Also that they're prone to glazing also helps with wheelies.

Yes you can. Resin-only actually means “do not use sintered”. The resin-only rotors lack a production process that is needed for a sintered metallic, but you’ll be fine with either of our compounds.

I went from resin to metallic pads on my Mt200s and the difference was extremely noticeable, in a good way. With the resin pads I really had to squeeze on the brakes levers to get any type of stopping power, but with the metallic pads I barely have to squeeze the lever and I'm getting great stopping power. i also notice that the lever pull distance shortened when i switched to metallic. I don't know if this is due to my resin pads being thinner or worn out but there was and still is definitely a noticeable difference in lever travel. on another note I've seen some companies on Amazon selling Copper brake pads, which I'm assuming would be a bit softer than metallic but last longer then resin? Has anyone had any experience with copper pads?

MT200 are not designed for full metallic pads, they can't take heat from brakes well - pistons are not ceramic. It will work fine for city/park ride fine but do not take it into mountains. You are risking that oil will start boiling on long descents up to a total brake loss.

@@AK-oz4ew I switched to M7100's a few months ago. It's a HUGE upgrade compared to the MT200s. I'm currently using Metallic pads and they bite a ton better then the MT200's. I am considering possibly switching to ceramic pads just to quiet it down a bit, these metallic pads REALLY squeal when riding in the rain. I also switched to larger rotors, Hope floating 200mm front and 180mm rear.

Which pads are less susceptible to howling? Or is there any difference? Online consensus seems to say ceramic are quieter? But, I'm not sure if that is referring to the brake howling issue. I'm not sure what type I have on my front caliper, but they are howling badly. I have just tried a product called 'Squeal Out' cleaned the rotors and pads, and they are still noisy. So, I am now thinking about putting new pads on, and am wondering if ceramic are less susceptible to this very annoying issue? To get rid of this noise I would even consider switching back to rim brakes, but I have too much invested in the disc brake set up, including two high end disc brake wheel sets. Any help would be appreciated. I am riding a lighweight XC race bike on moderately technical xc trails.

I got some super cheap bucklos ceramic pads on aliexpress, so YMMV with better pads. Once warmed up they are nearly silent and have excellent braking performance, but when cold they squeal like crazy when going slow and don't brake very well either.
