Review on Unparalleled Performance: Avid Juicy/BB7 Disc Brake Pads for Optimum Stopping Power by Jesse Stewart

I have tried both organic and metallic (baked) pads. My LBS eventually sold me bio pads because they are quieter. But after trying organic in two full sets, I found that metallic/baked lasted twice as long as organic and maybe longer. I have no problem with noisy metal pads unless they get wet crossing a creek or need replacing. sneaked up on me pretty quickly. Nothing I want to do in the middle of a long sweet singletrack while my friends wait below! Grrrr Buy sintered pads to save time and money!
