psycholist Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've used superstar's disk, v brake and magura pads and they're all good. Got some serious brake howl using the ceramic pads in Shimano disks though, sintered/organic are quiet. Shimano organic works better for me than anything else I've tried. There are recurring threads on Bikemagic and Singletrackworld about the pad material unbonding from the backing on Superstar disk pads, leading to complete loss of braking until pumping the lever gets the backing to the disk, but I've never had it happen. I also don't use Superstar disk pads for trials or run them in the front brake on my XC bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Superstar are brilliant with warranty support - I chewed up the internals of one of their 120 EP hubs on my XC bike and they sent me a brand new one as quickly as the post would allow ...
