Brake Pads

[Dave Ford]

Can anyone suggest from where I should buy replacement pads for 1200 GSA?

Why not try Nippy Norman. I'm very satisfied with their service. They stock EBC pads: http://www.nippynormans.com/products.asp?dept=219&pagenumber=5.

I can do you TRW Lucas sintered pads for £25.25 a side & p&p. May be a little more expensive than some, but I have had nothing but good feedback about them.

So is that £75.75 + p&p for pads all round?

That's right, as streaky says £135 for BMW pads.
I can do organic pads for £21.95 a set. Can't beat Steptoe's Ferodo's, but would reccomend sintered pads every time.

Organic - made with wheat and oats, and last for 5 minutes.

Sintered - Good stopping characteristics and a longer life. But you don't want them too hard, i.e. EBC HH, as the discs wear out instead of the pad.

I have just realised that my rear brake pads are almost down to the metal after 7,300 miles. The dealer says that this is not unusual for the original organic pads and that the replacement BMW ones are now sintered and will last much longer. I am fitting BMW ones as 1) need them fitted by Sunday and 2) bike is still under warranty.
