Brake pad material choice can greatly affect the ride qualities of your brakes. It can also be chosen based on the conditions that you plan to ride in. Organic brake pads are great if you are wanting a strong initial bite feel and less overall noise. They offer the best performance in drier conditions. Sintered brake pads are great if you are looking for the most resistance to sustained heat. They also offer better performance in wet or muddy conditions.
