Peder_y2k Posted September 25, 2012 Share #2 Posted September 25, 2012 Minimum disc thickness 6.5mm. For brake pads, I use EBC and they work fine for my bikes, as always, your mileage may vary. Last set came from Bent Bike in Auburn, WA but most cycle shops sell them as well. -Pete, in Tacoma WA USA '83,88 Venture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankd Posted September 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2012 EBC's web site (ebcbrakes.com) has a lot of info on brakes. The part number for regular pads is FA123, and the sintered pads are FA123HH. The sintered HH pad have a higher coefficient of friction, but depending on who you believe, may also wear the rotors a bit quicker. They are great for heavy use, and were designed for race bikes originally. The conventional pads have a slightly lower coefficient of friction, but they're the equivalent of original pads. I use conventional pads in my front brakes, but because I've got an R1 caliper on the rear, Skydoc suggested using the HH pads. My last set of rears lasted about 24,000 miles Frank D.
