I operate from a grass strip, so this could be a selling point for me!

One thing I like about the HD brakes is the ease of service. Remove a few bolts, pull off the caliper, pop off the old linings, and the new metallic linings "click" into place. No messing around with rivets. I just bought a box of 10 Cleveland 066-02200 pads for $100, so I should be set for years to come.
