Bobcat54s Posted April 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted April 22, 2021 Evening everyone, I’m putting new tires on the venture and noticed it’s time to change rear pads. What’s everyone using? Organic, semi-metallic, sintered? Rocky Mountain only has organic and sintered. I appreciate the input.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted April 22, 2021 Share #2 Posted April 22, 2021 I always used the Double H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted April 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted April 22, 2021 I never tried the organics. Always used the Double H front and rear. As sensitive as the back brakes are though, it's not a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDawson Posted April 22, 2021 Share #5 Posted April 22, 2021 I like organic on the rear, less lockup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted April 22, 2021 Share #6 Posted April 22, 2021 Yeah, the RSV rear brake is too effective in my opinion, possibly causing the rider ot lock up the rear wheel in a panic stop. Organic pads might be just what they need. Those sintered pads will eat up the rotors the quickest. Ceramic pads provide decent braking while taking it easy on the rotors. When I replace my rear pads on my RSV they will be ceramic or organic. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowpuc Posted April 22, 2021 Share #8 Posted April 22, 2021 I always use organics cause I love their feel and appreciate the less wear on my rotors. I also carry xtra pads in Tweeks Maintenance Dept when traveling just in case I need to swap em out on the road. l also clean the caliper pistons every time I spoon on tires which gives Tweeks excellent braking performance, protects against having sticky calipers and results in never ever needing to rebuild calipers. Here is a vid on how I do a simple clean up of the calipers: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimmer Posted April 23, 2021 Share #9 Posted April 23, 2021 I switch to these a while back and have liked their performance on my 89VR.. EBC V-Pads Semi-sintered. https://ebcbrakes.com/product/sintered-brake-pads/ Rick F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobcat54s Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share #10 Posted April 24, 2021 Decided to go with the organic pads this time. We’ll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
