Ok I know that some times after using the brakes hard they give off some odor, but mine are really intense,about 2 miles from home I had to stop really hard for a deer that ran out in front of me, I was going about 55 mph down to about 5 mph very quickly. I suspect they are of a softer compound-as they stop good. However, I checked everthing and did not find any problems.Has any one else experienced this? My second question is- has any one replaced their disc brake pads with aftermarket pads? and if so do what brand ,and do they last any longer ? I think the OEM are EBC brand pads. I would like to swap mine out when they are about 3/4 gone. I do not do a lot of intown riding -so time wise any disc brake pads will last me quite awhile. I perfer a softer performance brake pad, but not these! My garage stunk for an hour! Any info would be appreciated. Thanks
