Tim/Trialsin USA Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Orginally ('99) they were yellow. First used in CNC backings (black) for HS-33s. Later we added V version using same pad (size and formula). Red was done a couple years later, and intermittently (when yellow pigment was not available).

First used in CNC backings (black) for HS-33s. Later we added V version using same pad (size and formula). Red was done a couple years later, and intermittently (when yellow pigment was not available).So they were yellow first? I remember back they were yellow but i must of missed the red stage.

Tim/Trialsin USA Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) Yes, first they were yellow w/black CNC backings for HS-33s. Later there were some blue anodized backings. Then there were CNC V-brake backings....introduced..... hmmm, its been a long time!....think it was '02 or '03. As mentioned above, intermittently there have been red pads when we could not get them in yellow.There are trade offs when it comes to thickness of pad (the ammount sticking out beyond the backing). The thicker it is, the harder it has to be (or it will be unpredictably squishy feeling). Obviously the reverse is true. While the hardness of a compound is not the predominent determiner of grippiness (nor lifespan), generally speaking harder pads do not grip as well (on smooth/light grind as CR, CRM and CRV were designed for) on these smoother surfaces.
