SRAM disc brake pads. OEM or knock off?

[Tim Hall]

I've not changed disc pads before, as everything has been rim braked. However,last year I got another Pino, this time with SRAM Guide discs. Doing a bit of tinkering today I measured the pads. 3.2mm, so approaching replacement time.

Do I shell out for SRAM pads or are "suitable for" ones just as good?

I run Dura Ace hydros with Uberbike own brand (yellow - sintered) pads on Uberbike rotors. I've not failed to stop...

Edit... They do multi buy discounts and had recently a 30% off voucher.

I'm assuming you mean the backing plate & remaining pad measures 3.2mm.  In which case, yes, replace.  Get anything suitable.

Get thee to Disco brakes for their Kevlar/copper free pads.
