Default Changing only rear pads

I have about 800 miles on my 15 RGS and was thinking about changing out the rear brake pads to lyndalls to eliminate brake dust and keep the rear wheel clean. Is there any issue with having 2 different type pads on the bike?

I had Lyndalls on the rear and OEM on the front for about 4000 miles with no issues.

No issues that I know of. I like Brembo. Always consistent and reliable. Do nto go cheap with brake pads, they are too imp.

I do not know abt Lyndalls, but just do not skimp on pads is my suggestion. Your life is worth more.

Brake dust is nearly the same, nearly. But not worth a change if you still have service life on your OEM pads.
