Visit the Evo section, where you can meet up with fellow members with bikes just like yours. I can't answer your question, as I go by brand, not what they're made of!

Almost seems like opinion, the way people prefer one or the other. I like these much better than stock pads, can't honestly say they stop better than organic, but they do last longer. Lyndall pads have done just as well for me. I like that they're made in the U.S., too.

Ive used both kinds of pads on my ride. I stick with organics as they both stop pretty well- but if i use anything other than organics- they are way too noisy. So go with organics if you prefer less brake noise. Jmho.

A problem with Lyndall can be supply. I tried to buy rotors and pads from them a while ago and they had no stock, nor a date for fresh supplies. I turned to EBC instead and like the fact they're British!

Made in both our countries, good brand. If I did get any that were made in Britain... I wouldn't worry about them, after all, Avons are British!

Indeed, although owned by Cooper Tires these days - and Dunlops were too, once upon a time! Funny how some companies seem to forget their origins once they go global.
