Brake pad recommendations

A lower cost option (and a little less risk) for rear brakes is to use a softer pad in the rear from the same brand. I did that with Porterfield R4 in the front and R4S pads in the rear stock calipers. That improved the rear brake function for me. Some do similar with Pagid pads.
