    I was out looking at new pads today, and apparently Cambridge isn't
    the best place to buy SBK3s (or anny of Carbon Lorraine's products in
    general).

    However, a shop apparently[1] run by racers[2] recommended Bendix
    pads, then told me he couldn't sell me any as he didn't have any for
    the 10R.

    Now, as I'd like to give something a fair chance and matey in the shop
    extolled their virtures of strong braking performance and weak brake
    disc appetite, does anyone with more of a clue have any experience or
    shall I just stick with the SBK3s?

    [1] according to a bloke who had a bike out on his drive - this was
    the most likely candidate for motorcycle knowledge
    [2] and bikers - make of that what you will

    Would they be called Cambridge motorcycles by any chance? Several of
    the Team Ixion racers used to use them. Decent bunch of people and
    dangerous to be with when one of them wins his first race at Cadwell.

    Indeed they were. The "review" of them was by neighbour on the drive,
    and they seemed to know what they were talking about. However, an
    unknown pad brand from an unknown place doesn't fill me with confidence.

    Christofire () gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
    saying :
    Bendix is (good quality) OEM fit on a lot of French cages, so not a *total*
    unknown - but a 206 ain't exactly a 10R...

    I think I'd trust the dealer from knowing tham and people whose
    opinion I also trust saying they are good.

    I'll email you.
