Can someone please recommend the best brake pads for Aventon Level 3. I have the Tektro brakes.

When I first got the bike, the stock rotors and brake pads were utterly horrendous. Turkey warble sound every time I braked. I had to claim warranty and BikesOnline swapped them out with different pads and rotors, but I don't know what they used.

I want pads which have the best stopping power. I live in a VERY hilly area and with this bike being so heavy it will go through pads fast.

So if you have any suggestions for brake pads with top tier stopping power and not too much noise, let me know! I will have a go at replacing them myself this time.

Anyone own this bike? Love to see some pictures and hear your thoughts. I'm in Australia and just ordered one for $1999 AUD. My first gravel bike. I will be doing a mix of road and gravel riding, this will be my first decent bike for fitness purposes (My other bikes are an Aventon Level 3 e-bike and a $350 Aldi mountain bike). Hope I made a good decision choosing this bike. They didn't have my size of XL in store, but I test drove a XL carbon version which belonged to a staff member and really enjoyed it, surprisingly fast. Hope this aluminium version is just as fun and fast :).
