Evening All.

As CRC are sold out of Genuine Sinterd Hope Mono M4 pads and the chap I buy off, off of The Bay hasn't any listings I'm looking for an alternative supplier that doesn't wear a mask.

So the question is has anybody bought off and can offer an opinion on what the seller and pads are like -

Bikefridge on The Bay - 4 pairs sintered for 23 quid

OR

Uberbike on The Bay - 4 pairs sintered for 27 quid

Cheers
Carl

Multiple pads work out a lot cheaper and LBS is 16 a pair. As I'm going to need two pairs shortly I was looking at more than just the one pair other wise, yeah I'd prob go with the LBS

Of the budget pad brands A2Z (Wooly Hat Shop) have never let me down on price or longevity.

Thanks for the heads up on the SS Kevlar, I'd decided to give them a go up until the point I was reading the last review and the SS reply on their site -

Quote "Superstar Edit: I have to agree with you for Peak district use Sintered is the way to go. The rock type is millstone grit and as the name implies it is very abrasive. Use the hardest pads possible!" Quote

As I ride there quite a bit I think I'll stick to sintered
