Hey all


I went and bought some goldfren pads, did see good reviews on the product section of eBay. Then when looking in general saw lots of bad reviews.

But no-one saying WHY they are crap.. The initial description sounded good and they cost around the same as other pads.


cheers

You need to keep in mind that some bike model don't like some brands.

My ST1300 hates anything that isn't EBC or OEM HH pads.

Then you have to consider that some people like "agressive" pads while others like a more softer approach.

You also have those who believe that pads that don't last for 50k miles are rubbish while some don't mind changing pads every 10k miles.

I would take reviews with a good handful of salt and make your own mind.

Personally I never heard of Goldfren but if you think they will perform the way you want just give it a shot. Worse can happen is for you to change them sooner than you would like.

As I change my own pads I would rather change every 10,000 miles than change my discs...

I have a set of pads that would last millions of miles! but they are sat on a shelf :lol:


I have never got why people use mileage as a measurement of how long pads last :lol:


If you use them a lot then they won't last as long as not using them as much :scratch: each rider is different so would get different mileage out of them!


A good measurement is do they work and do they stop the bike in good time if so then thye are good pads and just replace once they are done!


As for goldfren I have heard nothing but bad about them mainly that they just aren't as good as stopping a bike which is a worry when thats their job :?
