    Default Will EBC Brake Pads & Rotors work better with hand lever & MS strength limitations?

    Hello

    Yes, I am aware the OEM brakes pads and rotors have been discussed at length before, at great length, but I am looking for a solution. I would love to ride as confident (CRAZY) as some riders do but that would be blowing wind up my butt if I said I did as well as the fun Police here would be all over me. The dilemma I face is due to MS, I rely on a hand brake to stop, and I am finding the Spyder is not stopping as quick as it did earlier 2019 – 2022 with the hand brake when I first bought the bike. I am aware that if I could stomp on the pedal with my size 13 boot it would stop on a dime (no one in their right mind would say that you can do that with your hand).

    Now because I use my hand to stop which does not provide the same pressure as your hand, I think I have probably glazed the rotors and or the brake pads or both. My solution is to change the front and rear rotors to EBC as well as the pads, or would that be a waste of time and money? At the moment, I can purchase the pads here in Aussie, but I am having difficulty finding a supplier for the EBC rotors here in the land down under, and I hate wasting money. So, the question from me is, would EBC gear work better and longer for me, as I am aware of the general opinion?

    Thanks

    PS: if you guys see Latrappe in the States (Dutch beer), try the Quadruple, drink it like a wine 10% ABV
