liam-pantera Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 heatsink reds are awsome pads i have to sets atm and i would choose them over plaz pads and koxx , i have a set on my stock wich still held perfectly even when it was nailing it down with rain and i dipped my wheel in water maybe that is a indication to how good i think they are .

Matthew_Gibson Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Reds are top pads, I tried them ages ago, when I had some CNC backing. There were very good on a medium grind, and also on a smmoth rim. Give them a go, Can't go wrong with anyheatsink pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 best brake i've ever had....very loud..but the bite/hold is awesome!well worth the cash...although you won't believe it till you get them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I'd say they aren't as good as Plazmatics on a smooth rim. I'm using both the vee mounted ones with cnc backings. I can say that on a painted rim they are great with a vee brake or on a grind even better. They do make noise bu don't really queal. But i haven't ridden them are a heavy grind. As for pad wear they don't wear at all to a certain extent, real tough material. Worth a try for definate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Are they loud?have they got a good bite and hold?More loud than Rimjam V4 pads on a harsh grind, but can be quieter on a more smooth rim if you want them to, they have awsome bite and hold, probably more bite than hold but i dont mind the brake to not slip a little bit, i hate toooooooo harsh brakes. Been run on a bike for like a year now... and still 70% of the pad material left its f**king insane! never going to run anything else... if the materials running out Steve let me know so i can do a bulk buy!! hahaha top pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
