Pads: Rim jam Blues
Time used: about 20 hours
Rim used:Onza Ronnie
Grind: No
Ceraminc: No
Brake used: Magura, with rb booster and a water bleed, and a tiny smidgin of tar
What is your opinion of a working brake:Something that locks and dosent slip, but also releases quickly
Previous pads: monty x-lites/x-hydras(on a grind), kool stops
How do they compare to previous pads you have used: better then Kool stops and tar, better then monty x-lites and tar.
Review: These pads work emense on a clean rim, have a good hold and not to spongey, They offer good bite aswell. at first i was a bit skeptical of them as they apreared to be something made from a pencil rubber or something, but then once put on and set up i had a quick ride and they are great pads. Not loud and annoy the nieghbours, but where holding well on the curbs edges(i know its not a great height but its the best i could find). But once these pads are in the wet you might aswell use a piece of stale cheese for a brake.
Overall i give these pads a deserved 8/10, but i feel a set of monty x-hydras on a grind are in a different league to these pads!
