Brake shoes
Getting ready to tear down and get started with tourpak install the signal light to running light mod changing rear end lube and checking brake shoes what shoes does everyone use I found 3 different ones on ebay Sintered Bronze--Ceramic composite--and a Kelvar. Any one have dealings with these and which is best?

Sintered seems to be what I have read most postive posts about. Kevlar seems to be a no go because they wear down too quick.

Your Nomad doesn't use brake shoes, Tom. No drum brakes on these babies.

I'm running the Sixity ceramic pads.
Nothing but good things to say about them. The last set of pads I ran were sintered bronze and only lasted a little over a year. MT

Sometimes Scott can be so picky.
