hugh_b Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 if you mean the old style "champagne" rims then yes i have used them. I ran a grind with short monty blocks....the brake was immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Unfortunately, though, the rims are really weak and dent easily and even though, with certain pads (like the aforementioned X-Hydras), the brake is good, the pads wear down really fast. But, you should be sorted with a pair of Plazmatic CRM's, which have great wear life and near unmatchable performance .Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louth Trials Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 my mate ran the monty pads (long un's) with a virtually non-existant grind, he wasnt no happy with it though... not enough hold and bite - always slipped. he sent the wheel to a local bike shop to be trued and the backs of the spoke nipples were pulling through the rim!!! so he now has an 07 monty hub on a black echo rim, with a gring and echo reds - mint!
