Well I finally crouched down to look at my back tire and realized it's bald, oops, so I ordered a new one and a tube, and then I was listening to my rear brake and it seemed like it was starting to grind so I look down there and sure enough the pads are gone as well. I think they're OE and I've got a little over 20k on the bike. I ordered sintered metal pads which is what I use on my other bike and they seem to be okay-- good stopping and don't tear up the rotors too much. What do you guys think?

Remember that basic inspection and maintenance will save you money and could save your arse - or somebody else's arse.

I always go with sintered if I can.  People say they tear up the rotors but my experience has been not that bad, and, I don't really care.  I want the improved stopping power - rotors can be replaced if they need to be.

I have the same view. There's nowt so important as tyres and brakes.

I think that is what I use and will be fine...you will tell a big difference when you get those new ones on.
