Any recommendations for pads on a cyclocross. organic etc?

Bike is on Sram Force 1 hydraulics

The Sram standard pads have disintegrated after 3 hard rides!

HKT products. Used for ages. Super cheap.

I like Disco brakes.

For sloppy conditions I use the cheapest pattern metallic ones. Usually about 9Euro.

How you bed them in affects lifespan enormously. I’ve got to the backing in a week and had 8,000kms from a set of the exact same. This summer I’m going to break in a winters worth during a dry week and set them aside (saying that for the 10th year in a row without getting around to it)

FWIW, I've just change out front and back sets on my audax bike. Its the first time I've made notes of the mileage when fitting, so have some longevity data to share...

Front: SRAM organic. Rear: Disco Ceramic Pro. Both equally worn down, to just touching the spring. 750miles of really filthy winter roads/NCN routes.

I've replace the rear ones like for like (as a geeky control), but changed the front to SRAM sintered. Will be interesting to see how they compare.
