Captain Scarlet Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 (edited) Right, due to my brake problem which has result in my back being very sore, I am resorting to a grind.I am getting a light/medium grind done by a friend, and am probably going to get some new pads as mine don't have much life left, but I will run them on the grind for a bit until I get new ones.Currently I have Onza Citruses, and am thinking about new ones for the grind.Someone told me that they used Koxx Brown's on a light/medium grind and it just wore the grind down.I was thinking about the blue rock pads?Can anyone give me some guidance as to what to go for.Also if possible looking at some value pads, rather than splashing out lots of money on expensive pads, but I will if I have to.Please just don't refer me to the pad reviews section.Thanks, Tom Edited June 16, 2007 by thutley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, i'm a massive fan of coust pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Coustsinks all the way. I've been running mine for about 10 months now on a harsh grind and they have very little wear. They're also by far the best pads I've ever had and perform brilliantly even in rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Yea, the guy I got them from runs them on a grind, but I just need another option as theres not much point in running them, hardly any pad left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve@banbury-trials Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 im a bit dissapointed with my rock pad blues ,they just don't perform well for me ,but it may just be my pads where just a bad pair .i've heard good stuff about all the heatsink pads so i'm gonna get me some in the next few weeks.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 i've heard good stuff about all the heatsink pads so i'm gonna get me some in the next few weeks.steveDo you know which pads are best for my grind that I should be getting?I've checked the Heatsink site and its a bit vague about what kind of grind the pads are for.

kid creole Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I had rock pads blues and they never really had any bite and were silent , they had good hold thou even in the rain and they didn't wear down at all even thou i used them for around 2 months.Ive had around 4 sets of citrus pads and they are my favorite pads they bite loads really sharp and have good hold but in the rain they go silent and the hold goes , so now Ive got a pair of coustsinks in the plastic backings , i put them on about a week ago and they are working well not as much bite as the citrus pads but the same hold and the hold stayed when i was riding in the rain today and the noise even stayed too.Ive got a medium grind which has started to wear out now , citrus pads will work on almost anything i think its just that the harsher the grind the faster they wear down so if your gonna use citrus pads keep the grind light. i recommend coust pads thou but they are £19 so its quite expensive.

Matthew_Gibson Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 Sorry for the steal. But what kind of grind would you call this:Last ones not that good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 the thing with cousts and CRMs is that cousts work just as well when the rim is soaked, while the CRM pads work a lot worse.this is on a fairly fresh grind of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I just ground it, I was meanine like light medium, I'm shite at grinding and I thin kits pretty light. What pads would suit that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
