David Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Recently I seem to be getting through my hope mini brake pads rather fast. I will be needing a new pair again soon. Is this just because I use my bike/brake a lot?? There is no drag on it and its set-up as straight as possible. Just been using the standard hope pads.

TheMunn Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Sintered pads work alot better, also don't need bedding in. I think EBC make some decent hope pad's, if not fibrax one's are also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I got my hope mini nearly 2 years ago, never replaced the pads, they still have loads of life left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMunn Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 They will work alot better in the wet than standard pads, and i'm pretty sure they will have a better lock aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colly Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I got my hope mini nearly 2 years ago, never replaced the pads, they still have loads of life left. same here, on our trail bikes mhy dad replaces his m4's every year or so, but that is because of all the grit and mud.

N.Wood Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 I've bought one pair of new pads over 2 years of having a front and rear Mini, and i only bought that 'cos i was going downhilling in Morzine. The front one is now on my Trials bike, the rear is on the DH bike. They're both failrly low at the moment (about 1.5mm each) but thats not bad for 2 years use including 2 weeks of hardcore downhill-age.
