    WTF whys everyone being alll offensive about it all, i asked a simple question, and whoever it was who decided theyd have a rant about taking the grease out and metal on metal is a twat! no one said anything about taking all the grease out so its metal on metal, we were talking about replacing it with lighter oil, so read before u talk shit! thanks to people who have helped i have taken note, and to all those who have just had ago jsut dont even waste my time! i was wondering because iv read that it helps prevent skipping which in trials cant be a bad thing although iv only skipped once since i got it bout 8months ago

    haha my hubs loud anyway just thought id add more bang, plus according to a website if u do this and change the grease to a lightweight oil ur less likely to skip and stuf as it allows the pawls to jam harder and faster

    Pad Reviews

    Pads:Cousts CNC Time used: 4months Rim used: 24seven rear rim/ Mavic ex721 Front Grind: Rear Grind/ Smooth Front Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura with water bleed What is your opinion of a working brake: One You Have Complete Control Over, Whether u want it to lock completely or just slow yourself. Also one that you can trust and rely on How do they compare to previous pads you have used: iv used rimjam red and standard maggie pads, also riden with plaz and bloxx, in my opinion these pads blow the others away, only slipped a few times and thats because i had my brakes set up weird. Review: These pads are insane, and worth every penny. highly reliable and extremely trustworthy. works just aswell in the rain as they do in the dry and also very loud. Unlike the rimjam red which lasted 3days no grind! these dont seem to want to wear down even on a decent grind i would recomend these pads to anyone

    thanks alot, but doesnt it matter about the mounting bracket like if uyou use a big rotor wouldnt the bracket need to be further up the forks?

  18. i dont need a mech or a tensioner im not going to be using anything, just wondered if u should still use one for strength or if the dropout weakens if you dont have one
  19. thats the sort of thing i was thinking
  20. nah tensions good with half link so just wondered if u needed a hanger
  21. basically, i have no mech or tensioner as i run a halflink, so do i need to use a mech hanger? do they do anything except hang the mech lol or do u still need to use one even without anything there?
