This is my first post I suppose, so hello. I live outside St. Louis, Missouri. I thought for sure I had an account when I first bought the bike a few years ago, but couldn't seem to figure out my info.
Anyways, I need to replace my front and rear brake pads. The bike is not currently with me and I have searched in various other places online and on this forum for an answer to this question to no avail, so please bear with me.
Are the front and rear brake pads on the RC 390 the same? I'm looking at ordering the CL XBK5 pads. So would it be correct to order two sets of two pads, one set for front and one for back? Also, I'm familiar with replacing the front pads, but how reasonable is it for someone who is moderately mechanically inclined to replace the rear pads? I haven't done the rear brakes before. I.e. can this be done with basic tools/without a lift?
Also, are the CL pads generally recommended or are there other pads that you prefer?
Thank you all SO MUCH in advance for any help.
P.S. I hope this is in the correct thread. If not, I apologize and please direct me to the correct location
