Tried sintered brake pads?

[Leo]

Have anyone here tried EBC (or any other) sintered brake pads on the Varadero 125?

I think the front brake on the Varadero 125 is a bit weak and sluggis so I'm wondering if a set of EBC sintered pads would be a notisable upgrade.

My experience (on bikes other than the XL125) is that sintered pads don't make a lot of difference in dry conditions.

It's good practice to always fit disks and pads from the same manufacturer.

Buying brake parts on Ebay is not a good idea.

What do you think is the difference between EBC brake pads from ebay and EBC brake pads from any store?

I NEVER use disks and pads from the same manufacturer on my cars, I usually rund MTec rotors and EBC Bluestuff pads, though EBC RP-X was a MASSIVE upgrade on my Fiesta ST180.

The problem is being certain that they are EBC pads !
