Hi
Have been using discobrakes pads for 3 years. Purchased sintered, copper-free and kevlar ones. My aim was to find pads on the market that are quiet while braking.
The kevlars and copperfree ones match that expectations. And the braking power is always there.
I have only one concern- the pad wear.
I ride a bike with many different brakes and big rotors. Roughly 6000 kms per year. I need to replace them every 3 months, about 1500 km.
Conditions? I ride when it's dry only. No radical riding style, no off road use.
From online reviews I could experience a long life expectancy, what doesn't match my experiences. I was able to get more life from any pads used before. Twice longer from cheap shimanos as an example.
Is the reality way different than Google search?
