Review on Galfer FD179G1054 Semi Metallic Organic Brake by Jeffrey Bush

I bought these pads for my first generation Vstrom 1000. bikes) for 5 years: I only mention this to show that I know about brakes and have strong opinions about them. Pros: These pads have a *great* feel - they modulate very well, are a low effort pad (meaning you don't have to push the lever too hard to get the braking you want), roll quickly and don't squeak. There are also pads in the middle price segment. Cons: They wear out *very* quickly. In fact, I had to go through my purchase history to make sure it wasn't a hallucination. They only covered about 45,000 miles. To put this in context, the original pads ran about 45,000 miles before needing to be replaced. I would call them racing pads, not road pads. Pay attention to the wear of the pads, otherwise the brake disc(s) can be destroyed very easily.
