I just set up my bike with disc brakes for the first time in my life and I get a lot of shuddering along with mediocre brake power compared to my trusty rim brakes. And yes, I bedded them in. I'm running alligator windcutters with TRP spyre mechanicals which came with semi metallic pads. I agonisingly tinkered with every aspect I could think of to get the breaking power up and to reduce the shuddering as much as possible. while I've made some improvements, I still have barely adequate braking power and unbearable shuddering. I had to retighten my headset as a result. I'm scratching my head on this one. Do I need to switch to resin pads? Are wind cutters not compatible with the TRP spyres? Is this just something I should expect with disc brakes in general?

I want brake pads that are equal to my oem for my 2012 Kawasaki Vulcan 900. Which material or type of pads do I want? Sintered, semi-sintered or organic?
Thanks for the video, it's all I needed to know.
Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot, nice job

Thanks Pro
so the title should be organic vs semi-metallic vs sintered brake pads...
Would this apply to bikes with disc brakes?
I think these are only for motorcycles
yes
