I weigh 80kg and have been using a 165mm front, 180mm rear with Mini Monos
for a year and have had no problems descending in the Lake district, Peak
district and various Welsh venues in all weathers using the standard
sintered pads.
A lighter friend fitted some unsintered (organic?) pads to the rear of his
original Minis and cooked 'em good and proper descending from Walna Scar
Road into Coniston, be warned!
