I wasn't overly impressed with the SBS pads yesterday. Clearly they're geared up for the road.

On the track they heated up very quickly and did a great job of stopping the bike, but they're very wooden. There was very little feedback from them and they were a bit grabby.

Which pads Kwacky ? I have SBS Race Sintered and great on road and track but a lot of people go for SBS street excel which are good pads but obviously not for hard track work as the name suggests.

If your planning to track on a regular basis Kwacky have you considered getting some track specific pads and changing them as required as it only takes 10 minutes and is straight forward.
