These are a client’s resin pads after a single race. He’s also a tall fella. Ask for Shimano semi-metallic brake pads, or even metallic if you’ve been using semi metallic already.

Mechanic calling customer “cilent” never get old.

They're road pads, right? What was the "single race"? Or was it one of those "I started this race with worn pads and they died during it" exaggerations.
I've ridden TCR on a single set of metal pads and now chop and change between metal and resin based on what's in stock. I would normally fit metal for longer stuff, for the durability but I also don't mind swapping pads out during a race nowadays so I tend to just run whatever.

Big statement but bigger [/fatter] than you 🤗
6’6” and 124kg at last count, ideal weight is normally 110-112kg.
I had it serviced and he put shit pads on, which I accepted because I didn’t know better. First proper downhill they stopped doing anything much at all which was terrifying, I stopped by wearing down my heels on the tarmac.
Took it to another shop immediately who replaced the pads with shimano, checked the fluid, and gave it a once over and they’ve been ok ever since, but I got discs because I wanted them to be good not ok.
I am more at the doing 80kph and wanting to stop asap end than the dragging the brakes end.
