Hendy Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) Hi all,I have recently bought a pair of Red Heatsinks (The £6 one's) and I am going to put them on my bike on the weekend but I was just wondering if anyone else have bought these pads and what they are like.1. Braking Power.2. Life (Long or Short).3. Value for money.If theres anything else you can say about them then dont hesitate to do so. Basically a review on these pads would be ideal Cheers Guys And Hopefully I'll get some decent posts Thanks Hendy Edited January 16, 2008 by hendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 i think they are, damn you making me doubt myself!! Yeh i just worked it out from the heatsink site the backings are £20 and the refills are £8 works out about write so these pads will be exellent because i have heard alot of good feedback on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 i think they are, damn you making me doubt myself!! Exactly the same compound, just different backings. CNC backings stop pad flex, so gives a more solid brake feel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeh going to order a set today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 They are NOT the same compund.....i have a pair of the greens and im very impressed with them...good hold, fairly good bite and silent...the reds are pretty much the same except a slightly softer compound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cristoff Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Who mentioned greens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 As far as I'm aware, they are a different compound (both the red and the green...)I PM'd Steve @ Heatsink when they first came out, and this is the reply I received (I hope Steve doesn't mind me posting, if you do mate, let me know and I'll be happy to edit!)The red are a similar compound to the blues and whites, moulded at the same establishment. Different to the Reds used in CNCed pads. The green ones are a tad harder, Reds like Plaz and Green like Bloxx for hardness. They are specials because they don't last as long as my other pads on harsh grinds. A great deal if they match your requirements!Also, if Steve sells the red refils for £8, why would he sell them in backings for £2 less?!

Alex Dark Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Who mentioned greens i was giving my opinion on the greens because are very similar to the reds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
