    I liked EBCīs hh but they lose sharpness due time, first 1000km was pretty great, but after 10,000km, not so great. Now you probably think that iīm just getting used to them, but no, had tested with new ones, same great bite again and you hear same from other users. Iīm going to Galfers black or some Brembo badīs next, after getting my bike together

    So far not done, engine, exhaust, forks, brakes and some bits laying around as rest of bike... But its allready stripped

    They are deep, full of nothing since i started studying after got pissed of missed employmentīs to engineers. Canīt blame employers.

    Thats why my bike is being year under construction cause i have getting money to build it up properly, as kind of a perfectionist. At least brake pads arent that big investment thinking cost of
    this hobby just rewarding myself somehow...

    I dont say that EBSīs would be bad padīs, not at all, they are great, really great padīs and made big difference to stock ones. Maybe its just my English but as i understand topics head, "what is top of padīs"?Thatīs why i wouldnīt put EBSīs to top cause i like things dont change due little usage. Good thing is that those keep pretty well feel and bite lap after lap at track and are more than enough for commuting. Its just that change in feel and bite, cant say power for real, that discredit my confidence...

    Oh, padīs are wrong place to be tight on money, as known, but so are every year of not chancing brakefluids

    Edited: few drunken typos

    What's the difference with TLR as opposed to S Calipers
