+@donavinnezar That’s a solid plan!

Also, not all brake discs are compatible with sintered brake pads! 👏 Make sure your discs are compatible before you replace your pads on your bike or else you’ll have a bad time, they will fuck up your discs and you will have little metal shavings all up in your hub and shit. There are three different types of brake pads. Organic (softest), resin and sintered (hardest). Resin pads are perfectly fine for most people and most uses.

+@UskInaTE good point on the rotors! I did fail to mention that.

Metallic all the way

+@giancarloespejo2223 I tend to recommend metallic as well! But some folks don’t like the scrapey sound.

Incorrect. There are many scenarios where resin is the better choice.
