Lately I've been practicing heel and toe, really like the results now that I'm getting better at it! Accept, I'm sure my breaks are gona show for it. So I've begun shopping for pads (my disks have about 10,000 miles I think). With my current wheels, I have lots of extra (post threshold) breaking available, so I was thinking, if I got a pad that doesn't eat rotors, has high temp capacity and long life that would all be a worthwhile trade off for a little less breaking power.
So what type of pads? I guess there are ceramic, metallic, asbestos, and a whole rainbow of colors to choose from but I can't find a comparison chart (they all seem to provide "excellent performance"); and I've seen pricing from the $20s to over $200. So to promote rotor life, maintain high temp stability and pricing that makes changes fun, can anyone suggest a vendor and type?
Actually I've never experienced any high temp degradation, but given the application, sounds like something to watch out for.
