Sintered pads deliver the best wear, high temperature performance and are suitable for most hash environments. However Sintered doesn・t perform as well as Organic in the cold and by its very nature (more than 60% metal) it generates and conducts a great deal of heat to the brake fluid. This heat build up can course expansion of the brake fluid leading to brake-drag issues (this is known as :pump-up;). In the extreme cases the fluid can vaporize resulting in a total loss of brakes. |
