Pads: Heatsink Blue Batch C's Time used: Approx 24 hours constant trials minimum. Rim used:Koxx Wide 20" (37mm?) Grind: Yes, Ceraminc: No Brake used: 2004 Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: A brake that locks your rear wheel up exactly when you want it to and under any amount of pressure does not slip, while still releasing instantaniously when you release the lever blade. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Awsome. My old koxx bloxx were holding ok but when you put a certain amount of pressure on them, like hopping up slanted rocks etc it slipped and caused great frustration. The heatsink C's have none of this. They lock when you want them to and hold until you let go. I have actually never had any pads this good and was surprised and shocked at the performance of them. Review: I have had these pads on for about 1 months and a week now and have rode with them about 2 out of 5 week nights, and all Sunday. For the first 2 - 3 weeks i had tar on an old grind and it was working very well with very little wear rate, hardly noticable. After week 3 (approx) I cleaned the rim, re-ground it and re-set up my brake. I thought that at that time my brake couldn't actually get any better except for working better in the wet, as the tar made it f*** up a little bit :) but it wasn't too bad. I was wrong. :) With a fresh grind and tar less I had incredible locking power and found that it's releasing time was quicker than my fingers. The pad was slightly spongey but not as bad as some of the people with 10mm pads (I had 7 mm ones cut becuase of my rim on my frame). Apparently a 'known' problem is that, in some cases, the batch C pads can work loose from the backings but this isn't occuring on mine. (Y)" Hopefully I am the first to comment on the 'New Gen' pads to be announced very shortly and manufacturing of these top class moulded pads is due to commense december time, but will only be given to the Heatsink team. Public Sale will follow afterwards.... :D Hope that was informative and not too boring! I remembered the :D 's near to the end to brighten it up abit. Edit: :D

Erm.. well! ;) The distortion on my amp is phenominal but it needs a good clean out I think. It's abit crackley which is quite annoying and I've broke the footswitch but thats the least of my worries. ;) It's got a little bit of dust etc on the cone but I'm thinking it might be the internal connections or my guitar, hmm. The distortion's really good though, and it's a really powerful amp, it makes my windows shake on half drive and volume settings! :( Any suggestions about the crackling? ;) Cheers.
