    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Brake pads

Anyone with more knowledge on the subject know if I'd benefit from replacing what look like stock front brake pads, Aisin brand, with EBC semi sintered V-Pads? I've had them sitting in a box for the last couple of years - plenty of life left in the stock pads.
The front wheel and calipers are off the bike... is it a while your at it kind of job?
 
Sintered pads will tear up the rotors. Some people like the braking abilities but the rotors will suffer.
 
These are semi-sintered, supposedly easier in rotors. Semi-sintered and semi-what? Organic? I don't know. Just wonder if they offer the best of both worlds or worst of both worlds.
 
Ask the company that made the pads?
 
I use the organic pads from EBC, seem to wear just fine and good stopping power.
