Pads: Koxx Blox Blues. Rim: Kris Holm. Grind: Yes, worn. Tad or tar. Brake: Rear HS33, standard hosing, Echo Team Booster, '04 Lever. Time Used: 2Months? Best pads used so far: Plaz CRMS. Opinion of a perfect brake: Loud enough squeak. - I like hearing my brake, if not I get worried. Lock, and modulation. - Modulation for manuels, lock for everything else. Review: At first I had a very worn grind, and my mate had my grinder, so I couldn't grind it. I wasn't too pleased at first, but to be fair, they hadn't worn in. They had more modulation than lock. Once I got a nice grind they were mint! Locked nicely, still had the modulation I wanted. I swear they've gotten better over time, as the grind worn out. No sign of mass wearing outas of yet. Now my grinds worn out, I've used a small amount of tar on the rim, and they have the same lock as before, just seem a lot noisyer. So yeah, Koxx blues are the shiz. Seem to work a lot like my CRMs did.
