Having my new set fitted in three weeks. Despite how good I've found the Metz Tourance this time I'll go for the Bridgestone A40 Adventure. They seem to be great on the big GS.
Going back to the pads, lots of people do not recommend sintered for bikes fitted with ABS like mine. That's why I was wondering about getting semi-sintered, even though I don't seem to find any online.
I am planning to get the bike serviced by Steptoe some time in August. I'll probably just end up getting a pair of his Ferodo, even if I'd prefer Brembo. Will let him advise (again)
