Brake Pad questions

I just installed three sets of the Lyndall Zplus pads. Install went flawlessly. I like the way they feel better then stock for sure. I went with these pads to try to decrease or maybe eliminate the brake dust problem.
Early on, folks would complain that the zplus did not perform well in the rain, however now the pads have been divided into three sections with moisture channels in between. Folks that have driven them in the rain report no problems with the newer style.
I bought mine off Ebay for $125. That was for three pair. And of course there is no difference between the front pads and the rear pads, they are all identical.
Get yourself some caliper lube and silver anti-seize. Lube for between the pistons and the back of the pads and lube for the brake pad pin. The anti-seize for the brake pad pin threads. Remember to pull the pin before you unscrew the pad pin.

I have had Lyndall Z-Plus pads on my last two bikes and they perform very well in all respects. Having said that, next time I will try the Golds that I understand are a little stickier and perform better when wet.
I am so used to the feel of Lyndall pads that when I ride a bike with stock pads - It is hard to describe, but the feel is gritty, something like finger nails on a chalk board. The Lyndall’s are smoother.

Just clean and lube as suggested above when installing new brake pads.
