I think bite and power are being confused, resin pads will have more "bite" so the beginning of braking will feel sharper as they work from cold better and are softer, sintered have more power, in that they'll slow you down better, especially from higher speeds. So resin better for sick endos, sintered better for flying down big hills.

Yeah was thinking about this, I sometime read "bite" as in more on/off than a initial modulation, I feel bite is a bit vague.

The V brakes on my old saracen with koolstop pads have shit loads of bite, will happily throw you over the front at slow speeds, but not so good at stopping you rolling down a big rock when you get all scared but are already carrying some speed.
