onzatpro09 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'm fairly new to disc brakes and I need some new pads for my Magura MT4. I've looked on tarty and there are official magura pads, except they're £20-ish. I have also had a quick look on ebay and found some pads which are a bit cheaper: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/151085239926 Would these offer the same performance? And which compound would be the best? Semi-metallic, sintered or kevlar? Thanks, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzatpro09 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 With a bit of research, sintered seem to be the ones to go for. Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'd go with organic (kevlar) for trials, unless they are a specifically soft compound sintered, like the Jitsie pads for the Hope brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I've made very good experiences with Trickstuff organic pads. Sheer power in combination with my Saints. The original sintered weren't of much use for trials and as I've understood it, sintered need heat to be working well, which organics don't.
