What is your opinion of a working brake:
Bite: Something that bites fast so you dont have to do a small backhop to re-gain the correct wheel position.
Hold: Something that will hold on the biggest of gaps, and something that holds on all recoverable moves such as a only just high enough pedal kick where you're on the corner of a object.
Sound: Not too fussed about sound, but i guess something that has a bit of sound, a little honk, not too loud or not too quiet.
How do they compare to previous pads you have used: I've used ZOO! pads, BBB tie fighter pads, Heatsink Yellow (cnc and plastic), Heatsink Blue(cnc), Heatsink red(plastic), Magura kool stop, Rockman greens(plastic), and a few others. These come out on top over all of them.
Review: These pads really do amaze me when they're on a good grind and are clean. They have the bite i explained earlier, no back hop required when going to rear. The hold is excellent, they hold on everything except the things that would be impossible to recover your balance or move on. The sound is nice, a decently loud deepish toned honk, wouldn't want it any louder. Perfect brake.
