Skoze Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I found that my zoo's take a while to get good, you have to warm them up a bit before you ride, (just rubbing them against the rim while riding to and from spots etc..

Onza-Trials Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 For best results with amolst any pad, a light grind will do you no wrong. I might have some pads for sale very soon, cheap too For smooth rims though, I can't say for sure, maybe the deng (echo/adamant) pads.staying away from grinds this time mate.

We might have some pads for sale very soon, cheap too For smooth rims though, I can't say for sure, maybe the deng (echo/adamant) pads.Should have two sets of pads available, the yellows for light grinds first then the reds for smooth rims to follow shortly pending current testing and analysis.

Headley Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 id suggest:blue rock pads - brilliant alround pads http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2077or if you want real top quality performance some heatsink reds - brilliant bite in all conditions http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=brakepads#hmag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 It depends on your rim surface as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam L Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sorry to kind of steal the topic..But, because i dunno where to get a grind, should i apply some tar anyway? Is it better than without.. or is it a big hassle?Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
