JohnyMilton Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) Well I have been on TF for sometime now, and every week there is a newbie who makes a brake pad thread, and it getting annoying how they dont use the search! So I thought why not make a thread all about brake pads as it seems to be a main topic for everyone, its not also because it gets annoying seeing a new thread every week about brake pads, but it will also help keep all brake pad threads in one topic!Im just really trying this out thought it would be a good idea, and see if it helps!So basically lets see if it works! Newbies ask all you want about brake pads, and everyone try and help, dont muck this up!Just for the record I use: Rock Pads Blue HeatSink SnowiesJohny out!

gu_lew Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Dan, either rock pads or or plazmatics will give the best grip for a grinded rim if not the green zoo! pads, lew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 (edited) ive used a fair few of the top name pads out thear such as........koxx browns on light medium and deep grinds all sharp..on the koxx browns i would deffo recomend nothing less than a deep sharp grind.......brill power bite ........but i like my rim to last a little longer so then went and got some koxx reds.......ive tried them on light sharp grinds and medium sharp grinds...recomend them on either grind to be honnest...grate hold power and bite rather nice whoosh noise to......monty pads on super light grind.....works well nice bite and hold again but dont last that long in comparison to any pads i have used!....my personal fave ....the plazmatic crm pads....light sharp grind is all i have ever had to use.....i cant fault my rear brake at all apart from wet weather preformance is rather dull......but who cares its summer woob-wooob.......In the near future i shall be getting some coustsinks...and rock pads (blue)as ive heard both are considerd bloddy awsome pads.......i hope this helps any one who is considering getting any of the listed pairs above............ dave x Edited June 5, 2007 by mrkoxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantallsop Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I'm running a medium grind with zoo! pads and no booster, its got an amazing lock but the sound gets quite annoying so i was thinking about plaz pads. Are they any good? i'v heard they are just as good as the zoo! pads but without the sound. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
