UH... make sure you have a spare set of brake (NOT break, you'r not
breaking your bike, are you...?) pads with you!
If you're going through mud and dirty water, brake pads made of organic
material (like Ferodos for cast iron discs) tend to wear out *VERY* quickly!
Normally, all enduro riders use pads made of sintered metal (?) wich are
not affected as much by mud and muddy water.
I for myself would never again use cast iron discs on an offroad bike. The
disc wear is important, and the money you save on buying the cheaper discs
will be spent on the next set of discs you'll buy!
As long as you stay on the road, it is ok to use LSL/Spiegler cast iron discs.
