I just ordered some on your recomendation. I've tried most types over the years - but never Vesrah (though I have used them in motorcycle brakes).

Well, if you are dissappointed let me know. I have not heard of anyone having a bad experience with them yet 
Yep, they have been making brake pads for over 50 years for motorbikes... they should have brake pads pretty figured out by now!

Sintered's last longer in the wet especially, I've heard of people going through a set of organics in a day of wet shuttling. Screw that.

I have had absolutely no experience what so ever with The Vesrah mtb brake pads BUT I have had plenty with their motorcycle pads - it was VERY important to bed them in correctly, the motorcycle pads did not like overheating during break in . Just something to keep in mind maybe.
I look forward to giving the mtb pads a whirl once I wear out my OE pads

Installed the Vesrah pads today. Had to do about 2minutes sanding on each pad with 100grit paper to remove enough of the block for the rotor to fit between pads (deore caliper). They seemed to bed after two rides up and down the driveway. Then I went and rode down Fuschia track - found the brakes to have good amount of bite, especially on the 203 up front.
Cheers.

Speaking of that what is the correct procedure to break in brake pads?

Use them normally, but try to keep dirt/mud out if possible, for the first few applications anyway.
Some people use water to speed the process up - this might only be any good with new discs and pads, to form a kind of grinding compound. It aids in the mating of the friction surfaces apparently.

Lots of short, HARD stopping, like from a decent speed. Dragging them lightly is very bad

two passes up and down the driveway seemed to do it - with the short sharp stops.
iv never had any probs bedding in brake pads (many brands) - others have no end of glazing issues.
dunno why???

You are correct Grasshopper  , dragging them glazes them making them noisy and relative to their potential, inefficient. DO NOT overheat them initially - this is important.
