Mark W Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Clean/Jitsie/Trialtech pads are all one and the same. The Hope ones are their own unique thing, and also worse The Jitsie style ones always gave me a shitload more bite and hold, but if they get hot they do glaze pretty easily. It just means you have to scrub the pads in a bit more (just riding around pulsing the brake on and off), but will mean they wear a bit faster than 'other' pads like the Hopes. It's a trade-off that was definitely worth it for me. It's worth noting that as they make your brake grabbier, if you use your brakes a lot more manuals and stuff like that they may take a bit of getting used to. I always felt the trade-off was worth it though as they really do make brakes work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pít Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Clean pads with Clean rotors works the best for me. I never wear down any pad, usually after 1.5 year (4-5x1-4 hours ride per week, but not much modulated moves) they wears to like 80% and the brake starts to feel spongy and the lever got too much way to move. I change the pads and the rotors than. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
