JoNnY__Mc Posted February 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Whats your first impression on the pads?Look fit as that does man.What the pads like ?NicPI have bin testing both compounds. First impressions are as follows.The red compound is very good so far, nice and loud, VERY bitey and holds my weight well on the wheel swaps I have been practicing. The rim is being ran smooth.The yellow compound is equally as good, not quite as loud going forward as going backwards (but this is how vees work) the pads have a nice bitey feeling and good hold. I cannot wait to go on a good long days ride to see how good they are.I will post up a better and more detailed review when I have rode them for more than an hour and have given them a good chance to bed in.yea jonny, bring on the ZOO! power, that bike look soooo nice,i like the vee,s, bike should be very easy to spin it, i know i hawe the same one This man knows where its at Bike is looking awesome there Jonny. Good to see you got the pads up and running aswell.Start getting that vid together Haha will do mate, some serious pad testing starts on wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shit backings are off some random pads my dad had as spares from his raleigh chopper restoration project! They aren't the best and are quite heavy to be honest but are working really well for now. I might send the backings back to get filled with around 7/8mm of pad as the when the brake is set up, even with the maximum amount of spacers, there is too much lever pull . I might get a booster soon come to think about it, I have bin told that the difference in power and flex is really noticable!Ride soon mate, will have to get abit of a ride going down your way when I have the money for trains and that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
