Alex-Mitchinson Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Will you be running a grind? Do you want the pads to be good in both wet and dry weather?/\/\/\/\ Rock blue's are great but they don't last as long as some pads though.Yeah they do, they're one of the hardest compound pads you can get!

kevinc Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 (edited) Koxx browns last ages,Rock blue's are amazing on a fresh grind but after about 2 weeks they loose there bite and there sound which is a shame.Obviously you haven't heard of a substance called TAR. I run Rock Blues on a dead harsh grind, with a little TAR(tht unkown substance), works brill. Last ages too.

Ryan Blackwell Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Obviously you haven't heard of a substance called TAR.I didnt get these pads so i can use them with tar, any pad works well with tar,Tar isnt the answer because after a while it just builds up in the grooves of your rim and makes your brake crap.

I know you think i'd say anything to stick up for my company, which in fairness anyone would do. But in all honesty i've had the same pair of pads on my bike on a light grind since January and they've got just over half the material left, fact of the matter is we've only ever had one of our test sets wear down that quickly and it was run on a very harsh grind, since then we (and other people round here that are using them) only ran them on light grinds and the wear rate has been completely fine, so we brought them out aimed at light grinds. Yet yours have worn down in 2 days. I don't think that shows the pads being at fault, but your grind obviously wasn't light... or you dragged the brake as you rolled down some monster of a hill with your freshly ground rim.
