I love PF (performance friction) pads not cheap though, or you could try SBS Dual Carbons..  Very good take a lap or two to warm and have a sharp bite but half the price.  (Track only)

MMR's are fantastic - just buy them  :D

Best pads i've ever used (MCR's are a little scary - i'm sticking to MMR from now on) - different league (imho) compared to EBC.

Only downsides are the price (not as expensive as PF though) and they wear out pretty quickly - I was changing pads at the same time as rear sticky tyres  :o

Try them on the road after giving them 30 mins to cool down - like,say,for instance riding home after a day at Croft - first roundabout.........FOOKING HELL    :yikes :yikes

HHmmm.

It seems MMR are no longer available   ???

PDQ (the importers) don't list them.

http://www.pdq1.co.uk/bendix.htm

Looks like MRR are the new equivalent.
