Hey i've usually run veserah sintered pads on my cbr250 and i've recently bought new metal gear discs and they came with organic pads. so ive run in the discs with the new organic pads but i was wondering if its alright to put the old sintered pads or should i buy a new set instead?

Also which is better? i ride my bike in the wet and take it on the track every couple of months and usually on a few rides through the hills. the mechanic told me that since its a wee 250 that the brakes wont heat up enough for the sintered pads to be effective unless I'm absolutely pushing the bike to its limits.
is that true? so far i've found the organic pads kinda crappy unless i'm really squeezing the lever, and they make an annoying squealing sound when ever i use them.

Any opinions/tips would be appreciated. and sorry if this is a repeated thread i tried looking everywhere for a good answer as to which is better but have been unsuccessful.

Thanks in advance

"Organic"? Made from cow shit or the bark of Canadian maple trees hugged by Justin Bieber?
