As stated above I am looking for some brake pads to put in my gold spot calipers but not sure which ones to go for. I will be using bike for road only. Any ideas? Been looking on eBay and there's so many..

the std yam pads are a good allrounder.
my bluespots came with EBCs, which grip up well but are generating masses of dust.
i will replace them with yam pads soon as.
cheers

I'm running sintered pads from Metal Gear, $25 a caliper, easily as good as the Ferodo sintered pads at twice the price.

Check this out:

Radial Brembo from a 2004 R1, first year of Radial gold spots, which should be the same as our gold spots but just mounted radially. Don't know if it's 5/8ths or whatever, but it should work well.
As soon as I sell my race suit, I'm ordering one
