I need new brake pads for my TRP Spyre brakes. I swapped the ones that came from the factory at about 7.2Mm, They still had over 1mm of pad left, but I was about to do a big tour, so wanted fresh pads. I put on Uber bike pads, and put the originals in a ziplock bag in my top tube bag. Last week on day 2 of my festive 500, I hit the front brake, it made horrible noises, and didn't seem to do all that much at all. I was on a relatively hilly route, was tired, and needed faith in my kit, so I swapped the pads back to the originals that were still in my top tube bag (phew). The Uber bike pads still have over 1mm of pad left, but their performance had dropped off massively (I'm wondering if this is related to my failure to stop crash on a recent audax
https://yacf.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=110388). They had only done just over 4Mm. So Now I'm in the market for new pads that fit my TRP Spyre calipers. I'd like metalic rather than organic (I think?)
Options seem to be:
Kool stop KS-D620 - Semi Metalic
Shimano B01s - Resin?
Swiss stop Disc 15 Sintered - Metalic
Jagwire DCA016 - Semi Metalic.
I want the best stopping power and long life, in wet, snow, mud, gravel, road, and the YouDoNotWantToKnow, that covers Dutch roads. I'm not too fussed about price.
What would people recommend? Any I should avoid?
