I really hate EBC pads now. Look what I found when I removed the rear wheel to get a new tyre fitted:
This is the second set of EBC pads I have experienced that have broken up. The last set was on a little Honda CB-1 where the entire pad material completely separated from the backing and just fell out of the caliper.
Apparently, EBC only give a limited warranty on their pads. To quote their site:
So, they only warranty them to remain in one piece for 6 months or 5000 miles. After that, if they break up and kill you, it's not their problem. I won't be using them again. There are enough other road users out there trying to kill us without shoddy aftermarket pad suppliers getting in on the act.
Very poor!
If you're using EBC pads - check them regularly for hairline cracks and signs of the friction material coming away from the backing plate. If in doubt, change them.
