Re: Do you need new pads with new discs?

I'm still in two minds about those ones. Almost everyone who's used them says they're fine - but you never really know how these people actually ride or anything! My gut instinct tells me to avoid them...

I have, however, found several recommendations for an English manufacturer called Blackshadow Rotors whose prices seem great! I emailed them about discs for my bike which they don't list, and got a reply straight back from them saying they're making some and they should be ready in a few weeks.

I don't know if anyone here has used these? They look good to me, though!

They look much the same as Galfer's :smt001

Not keen on his comment about stopping from 200MPH constantly ??? If your bike is capable of that speed your brakes should be capable of stopping you from that speed too ! Any amount of times.

How are they ever going to prove you never used new pads to start with ? Best give you new pads with all discs supplied and end that "loop hole"

But, for quality disc's they are a good price - a set of Sunstar's here would set you back about double that.

MM!
