Dave Anscombe Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 light but SHARP grind with some plazmatic pads are pretty good but i have had my blue rock pads since tuesday on a near enough ded grind and well to be fair they smash plazzies any day so i would recomend the blue rock pads.

jandamna Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) well i'am running the Monty orange pads on a light / dead grind, and they hold perfectly for me, they have only slipped once or twice for me, but my last pads where black maggy pads, so i haven't really tryed a lot of pads Edited August 25, 2007 by jandamna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.trial_dude Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 On a light grind i would get Koxx greens or Koxx browns.I've used both of them and it works really well !Just when it starts to wear down a bit (the grind), i put a little bit of tar on it and it works perfectly again.

mr_malcolm Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 If its a light grind use green rock pads then when the grind has worn down they still work fine with out any tar i use them on a perfectly smooth rim no troubles at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy wonka Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Don't get a light grind mate, get the heasink coust pads on a harsh grind, they work the bolax, TRUST! errrm your getting pointless braking power then, all they need is a light grind and cousts then they'll last ages and be an amazing brakeIf its a light grind use green rock pads then when the grind has worn down they still work fine with out any tar i use them on a perfectly smooth rim no troubles at all dont get rock greens on a grind, they wear too quick but provide pretty good power.

eskimo Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Coust cnc'd or Plazmatics CRM. The only ones that i'd go buy. Rock blues, never again. Soo disapointing to be perfectly honest, yeah they're good but not worth the money and overated so much, i was expecting more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soo disapointing to be perfectly honest, yeah they're good but not worth the money and overated so much, i was expecting more.Hit the nail on the head there Nick! Coust work well on all braking surfaces. Plaz are class on smooth, dead and light grinds.Rock pad blues are terrible, mates have bought them... 3weeks later... out the door! graham...

eskimo Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I doubt Koxx blue's are anything near the power of Plazmatics or Coust. They will probably be on the same lines of Rock blues but i haven't tried mine out yet. You could be right though and they might actually be rather good?

Echo-Scott Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Blue rock pads are certainly the best. I have ran mine pretty much right down to the backings and they have been great the whole time on a medium grind. Deffinitly going to be getting another pair.
