Metal or resin disc pads?
I'm building another mountain bike, and cant decide which to get, metal hydraulic disc pads or resin pads. Cost is the same, but i don't know the pros or cons of each. Any help is appreciated.
Brakeset is XTR, and will use for XC/AM bike. Also, is XTR tough enough for All Mountain? Cost is close to XT for this set, but is the upgrade wasted on AM?
The biggest differences between metallic & resin is heat buildup and noise. Metallics will generate much more heat and be quite a bit noisier but will last longer. Resin will wear more quickly but will be much less likely to get hot enough to warp a rotor or anything like that, they're also much quieter than metallic pads.
Personally, I absolutely HATE XTR brakes. In terms of power, they should be fine for all mountain but they just dont work as well as XT's or Avid Elixirs in my opinion... add to that the fact that they use dumbass shims to adjust the caliper and they're a joke in my book. I've had them previously and I would not ever run them again; the only advantage they offer is some weight savings but it just isnt worth it in my opinion.
