Pads: majics Time used: a month and a bit Rim used: sun mamoth Grind: indeed tar: f**k no!!!!!! Ceraminc: No Brake used: V What is your opinion of a working brake: one that locks and holds me every time noise is ok i guess. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: fanf**kingtastik! they own x hydras and the heatsink pads i'v used. (reds and blues) but the koxx greens are marginally better Review: at first i thought the wear was a little extreme, they lost around 2mm in 5 minites of riding but the lock and hold was amazing (amazing) anyway, after i got back on my bike when my finger had healed the brake was still absolutley amazing! just locked and held really really well. and now after a good months riding the wear seams to have stopped pretty much(staying at around 3mm), but the performance has stayed just as good. the wet weather performance is nearley as good as they are in the dry, and they still worked to an acceptable standard with some ice on the rim. i'm really impressed with these pads, well worth the money just really really good pads.
