I posted some time ago about fitting ceramic pads to try and fix the well known squealing problem, and also to see it they helped with the wooden feel of the front brake. 150 miles (none in the rain) and I'm pleased to report that there are still no squeals, the brake feel is rather better and there's more retardation. Not tried in the wet yet. Pads are SBS 501HF from flea bay. I did also reprofile the brake lever where it presses on the master cylinder piston in order to bring the lever closer to the bars and let me use the stronger parts of my fingers, so the feel thing may be related to that.
Regards,
Arthur.
