    Gold Fren brake pads

    Do any of you guys have an opinion on Gold Fren ceramic carbon brake pads?? I had never heard of the company but they're from 'across the pond' in GB and lots of good pads seem to be made there. Any of your thoughts would be appreciated!!

    Just be wary of the heat up time if they're carbon ceramic...

      Very good pads, slightly pricey. They give very good braking performance and last very well. As an example, I have a mate who runs a Divvy 900 and used to get through front pads really fast - we're talking very low 1000s. I popped in some Gold Frens last year and they're less than half worn. His discs look fine and he's very pleased with the performance.

      They do need to be run in properly.

      BTW - I think they're made in the Czech Republic.
