dec Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) hiya everyoneI was just looking on Trials-uk and tarty bikes and a few others and when you have a disc brake you have one pad to fit your calliper where when you have a rim brake you have a reallly big range of padsso if you have a maggie you have pads for grinds and tar and smooth rim but there is just one standard pad for a disc and there is nothing else just bog standardi know you wont grind a disc or put tar on it that's stupidi was just wondering why there has only and ever been the bog standard pad for discs all comments would be appreciated thanks dec Edited January 26, 2008 by dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidehop Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 There is a small margin of pads out there, but the power you get from the bog standard jobbys is very good. You also find the wear life is 'mazin on them too.As for the magura pads, Companys have just tryed difforent compounds for difforent rim surfaces and weather conditions.

Boswell Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Most cable disk breaks have 1 pad and most hydrolic ones have 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Most cable disk breaks have 1 pad and most hydrolic ones have 2. Actually most have 2 pads but only one actuates -I think the reason why, Is because theres no need ! Disc brakes are so great because they work in all weather. And as said before...Because there already spot on Jarrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam-Griffin Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Don't EBC do disk brake pad's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 EBC do, or at least used to do a range of different compound disc pads.For most disc brakes it's possible to get both sintered and organic pads - organic wearing slightly quicker and being a touch more responsive/grabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
