Pads: Koxx Browns

Time used:1 month

Rim used: Monty

Grind: Yes but worn down medium.

Ceraminc: No

Brake used: Magura

What is your opinion of a working brake: Locks the wheel completely.

How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Alot better, compared to my plazmatic pads there amazing!

Review: Well at first they were dull, but as i had been told it took a bit for them to wear in. As I rode them they gradually started to hold better and better. After about a week or so I took them off the bike and sanded off the layer of glaze on the brake pad, after that they were amazing, the bite was there, the hold was there. I can't fault them.

Review:

When I first got these pads I put them on a grind and they had good hold but no bite and had no noise. I then sanded the rim down and they became really good, hold improved and bite did aswell, but still didn't have alot of bite. Nice noise aswell, not to loud so it gave me some convidence :)

Today I took my booster off and jesus :o It's amazing, loads of bite and hold, Noise beacme good aswell.

On a grind they really did lose alot of wear but now they are on a smooth rim, Wear rate is amazing :)

Got these pads for £9 from my local Bike shop aswell.

Is there really any point in New members chat having a Brake pad review topic?, I mean the majority of active new members will be validated in no time so they can add to the current pad reviews in trials chat, but for now they can at least read them.

Secondly, lots of the new members are new to trials anyway, so they wouldn't have the experience of testing a pad to comment on it.

=D
