What's the difference between metallic and organic brake pads

There are two main types of material that brake pads are made out of. There are organic pads (sometimes called resin) as well as metallic pads which have specks of metal embedded into their surface.

Resin pads will make less noise and have a sharper initial bite. However, they may fade toward the bottom of long descents, and they have poor performance in the rain.

Metallic pads on the other hand will work better in the rain and offer a more consistent performance on long descents. They are louder, but the noise doesn't necessarily mean anything is going wrong.

It's mostly up to personal preference as to what material you buy. Gravity riders who speed down long descents might prefer metallic pads. Riders who like a sharp bite right when they pull the lever should go for resin material.

Lastly, it is important to consider the rotors you have fitted to your bike. The best mountain bike disc brake rotors will accept both types of pads however some cheaper rotors can only be used with organic pads.

How to bed-in disc brakes?

Every disc brake and pad manufacturer has its own bed-in procedure, but all are slight variations on a similar set of steps. The key is to heat and cool the brakes in a repeatable and consistent manner, without accidentally scoring the pads or rotor by braking too hard, too soon. Again, the goal is a consistent transfer layer. Here’s what we have found works:

Hop on your bike somewhere with plenty of room. Pedal up to a moderate speed – 15km/h or so.
Sit down in the saddle and apply the brakes evenly, without skidding, until speed drops to a walking pace.
Release the brakes while you’re still moving.
Repeat 10 times. You will feel brake power increasing with each repetition. Be careful not to skid as brake power increases with each repeat.
Perform the same set of steps, but increase speed to 25km/h.
Repeat 5-6 times.
