Hey, the time has come to replace the brake pads. What are people running when replacing the stock ones on a E160rs.

I’ve gone Ebike specific because they are blue and match the colour of my HT components flat pedals......mind you they only lasted just over 500 miles ??

Annoyingly, the brakes on my E160 have squeaked pretty much from day one, despite bedding them in properly. Would changing the pads to these sintered ones fix the issue?

I run Trickstuff 840 Power on my e150rs with Code R brakes. They are good pads, stop the bike well but a bit pricey and that's the rear pads after 400 miles....

You might still get a squeal..luck of the draw / if they get contaminated

Well that doesn’t fill me with much hope!

Thanks for the replies. My other ebike is all shimano so all this sram stuff is new to me. No doubt I will be back asking more silly questions as stuff wears out

The Uber are out of stock, so what else do you guys recommend? Are these any good:

SRAM Code R RSC Disc Brake Pads Multi-compound Sintered ceramic

SRAM Guide RE Disc Brake Pads Multi-compound Sintered with kevlar and copper fibres for better heat dissipation and longer lifespan
