Metallic/Sintered Pad Interest?

Megadan · 02-20-2021, 08:57 PM

Just a feeler, but I have been considering ordering a few sets of the same brake pads I bought for my Hawk to sell to other guys that might want to upgrade the bite of their brakes on their Hawks.

I have been pleased with the improved bite of my brakes with them, and I have seen others looking to try and improve their brakes as well. These pads have really shown their worth when braking hard from highway speeds as well.

Obviously the only drawback to these pads over regular organic pads is rotor life is reduced, but the rotors for these bikes are pretty cheap anyway.

These are not going to be EBC pads, and the price will sort of reflect that. Depending on what slow boat costs are, it looks like a full front and rear set together would run about 50 bucks-ish.

If people can confirm the style of pad (picture would help) I can see if those other styles can be found for the Brozz/Magician/TBR7 etc. if there is anybody interested in the same thing for those bikes.

I would be interested. The rear pads of the Hawk fit the front of the Brozz. You were right about the rear Brozz brakes. One pad is normal and the other is a puck style. Unfortunately, I ordered new Brozz rear pads from Peace and I can't find a part number on them to try and find aftermarket pads.

I too would be interested. At some point we all are going to need some brake pads and rotors too. Would be nice to have the info figured out and a supplier known. Besides the HAWK the Magician would be one I needed. Probably need picture of the actual pad with dimensions or is there easier way?

Yes, actual pictures of the pads for non Hawks style brakes would be useful. Most of these chinese bikes use only a few styles of brake, so at the very least it would make for a good archive of information for the other bikes

gwowzer, if you can snap a pic of those rear pads when you get them I will see what I can find.

I'd be more than happy to. I actually have already received them, but when I go to make a post and use the site to take a picture it says the file is too big? Won't let me upload.

I don't bother using the site because the upload space is limited anyway. I used imgbb.com Hosting is free, and you can use the direct links under the embed code tab for the pictures and copy and past it into the insert image box.

No real urgency anyway. Plus, maybe we can convince another owner to help.

That picture hosting site works slick! I've been waiting for my picture allotment to run o ut. I heard at some point it starts to delete pictures on your old posts which would be a loss of a lot of good information and means at some point you have to find an alternative.

Those rear Brozz pads look like Suzuki GS125 front brake pads. EBC part number FA093
