BB7 Sintered Pads Sintered pads are made up of hardened metallic ingredients, which are bound together with pressure and temperature. Pros -fade at a higher temperature than resin pads -better performance in wet conditions -Durable,last longer -suit all weather condition -Fast and reliable stopping power Cons -louder -longer break-in time -not as much initial bite -heat is conducted through the caliper, not the rotor These pads will be better if you are a heavier rider. These pads are recommended for riding in wet, muddy, or dusty conditions. They are also a lot better if you are running small rotors, or are on a long descend. Although they are more noisy, and do not have as much of an initial bite as organic pads, you will definitely notice the increased performance at the end of your run. This happens because the heat is put back through your caliper, rather than your disc where you would get brake fade. Since these pads are made of a harder compound they will last longer than resin pads, but do not buy these pads just because they last longer. Always buy the pad that will enhance your performance the best, they are cheap you can always buy more if they wear out.
