t33zr Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) Sorry if here are some sucky spelling... translated it from norwegian in 1 minute.... but here we go:I was at work the other day and was reading a catalouge of all the products we have. And suddenly i saw something interesting!!Poleurethane plates!!! They cost about £683 for a plate 2m x 1m.Since i was unshure of the softness of them i wanted just a test objectSo i called to the main office in OSLO and asked if they could send a little test of the product.It was shipped express the office in my town.Then i got the tools....The poleurethane plates are 10mm thick, so they are perfect for brakepads.I told them to make them fit two brakepads in the width of the plate.Then i had to boil the old brakepads to have some backings to test on.Christmas-soda while waiting for the water to boil!Finally boiling!!! then i put the old pads in the water.When they where "ready" and real hot, i had to remove the backingThen i had to glue the shit together. (I know this is not suited for the shit, but only thing i got at the moment) Final result! When i have tested them i will get back with a little review on the pads.Maybe i will buy some loose backings and make shitloads of pads and sell them real cheap (only if they are goodshit ofcourse!)

Bigman Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 i hope you have cut them so that they sit into the recess in the backing! otherwise say goodbye to your face!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t33zr Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 i hope you have cut them so that they sit into the recess in the backing! otherwise say goodbye to your face!Adamno i have not!

blaze_ Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 (edited) Making rough calculations the plate you bought(received) is around 70 pound witch is a lot, but come to think of it you can make like 200 pairs of pads so it is good....of course if you have backings and spare time The idea is nice where did you get the poleurethane from? If it is good stuff redirect me to them (when you test it of course) By the way there is a special glue from Loctite for poleurethane(not sure about the number though). I think that you know that, but just to inform other people who want to try that Edited December 7, 2007 by blaze_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 no i have not! This is just the first test pair.... If the bite and locking is good, i will make a new pair and fit them properly... Including a safer glue... so a review on the hold and shit comes tomorrow Even if it's just a test pair your shouldn't glue them like that, the rubber wont hold on there for two pulls of the lever let alone time to test them.

Krisboats Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Please don't use that brake pad for anything more than slowing you down whilst both wheels are on the floor. Spend 5 minutes with a sharp stanley knife (watch those fingers!) just cutting out the basic slot shapes for the backing and pull those two little posts out of the backing to make life easier.Currently helping boumsong out with cutting and testing of his new pads and theres no way i'd risk using something like that. My current setup is as primitive as this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
