If you ever get a chance, try ceramic...I find the stopping power equal too if not greater than metal and silent as well as smooth as can be.I have a Rize RX Pro, and at about 20 miles, my front brake was starting to make some noise, even when I wasn't on the brake. A chirping sound. Irratating to say the least. To quiet them, I would get on them hard, but just for a few feet. Eventually I went into a break in procedure and after about 20 miles, it started getting better, eventually quieting completely. That was just being bull headed on my part to see if I could get through this initial break in. It would have been much easier to just change the metalic pads over to an organic compound and been done with it.
I have another bike with metalic pads that I never did quiet completely, no matter what I did. At like 900 miles I gave up, and changed to organic. Noise gone. Silence is golden....
There's a reason they are the preferred automotive pad.
