My front brake is feeling a bit vague. I left it tied up over yesterday and last night and it's feeling a bit firmer, but still not amazing.
I'm going to give them a clean as it's been a while, but was also wondering about changing the pads.
What are peoples views which pads? Organic, sintered, semi-sintered? EBC?
It's for an aircooled bonnie scrambler - so single calliper, duel piston. Mainly for commuting in London, so lots of braking no track.
I've heard some people using organic on the rear to smooth out/reduce the initial bite as it's easy to lock the rears.
