Muel Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Can't really sell them as new pads though, pretty unprofessional.Just sell the rubber bits and let people glue their own in? Maybe as a slightly cheaper option. Would also help for the CNC backing crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 are the pads any good? price? before people start all the none important questions lol.Matx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 The pads themselves are working very well, gonna release a video pretty soon of them working. Make a lot of noise and seem to be holding as well as any other pads i've tried.I think the price is going to be around £10 a pair (not definate yet).As for pad backings being sent in for a price reduction, it is a good idea and one that we have already considered doing. It won't be any more hassle than using new backings literally a case of using pre-cut material and replacing the used material.Backingless material should also be available at a cheaper price for anyone with cnc'd backings.Unfortunately testing is already planned so the answer to any questions about if they can test for us will have to be no, sorry.

Phil H Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 As for pad backings being sent in for a price reduction, it is a good idea and one that we have already considered doing.Pads sound good and at a decent price! Looking forward to seeing how they work.As for the above idea, I understand that on paper it looks feasable in practice the majority of people will not be bothered to send them.

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Sure Ive seen them on eBay for like 1 or 2 pence. was a year or two back now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(buying stamps etc people are lazy!)PhilIt would be optional, if they want a discount send the old pads in. If not, buy them at the full price of £10 and don't bother sending their old ones to us.I've spoken to chris (wally on here) from rimjam and the backings have indeed all gone. It was also him who put them on ebay so it would be pretty unlikely for any more to turn up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Kris my sig is better than yours, sorry How about offering a free set of pads to whoever can find a supplier of backings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
