Peperami Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Cnc cousts on a grind. Out of interest, how can anyone say if their grind is light/medium/harsh? How does anyone know how harsh everyone else has ground their rims to compare?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 im after the best pad + grind combo it can go from smooth right up to harsh if it will work amazingly. i am cureently running neco reds on a smooth rim, with no booster on my t-pro frame its pretty darn good, but after seeing dave kerrs brake not slip at all on saturday and mine slip like 3-4 times just pedal kicking along not even doing anything has wanted me to change, i will be putting the necos on the front most likely and running a new set up on the back, so tell me your best combos, i was thinking of koxx brownss with a medium grind but i mite be persuaded over wise by peoples opions on that.thanks in advance ozzy.Your 'Neco's don't sound darn good at all if they slip on a flat surface under not much pressure.Coust pads in Heatsink CNC backings with a sharp grind can never be knocked off pole position for brake performance .Cheers,Joe.

!Harris! Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I run Koxx Bloxx Reds on a sharp medium grind .... amazing hold and amazing bite ( awesome bite noise too ) Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) CNC Phat pads, Medium grind (I don't need harsh), 2-bolt booster running the spacers on top [try it, you'll see the light] Never tried phat pads on a harsh grind, would be INSANE with my setup... Hmmmm... Edit: Riding today on my seriously dull grind, my brake was seriously good. Edited June 1, 2008 by Quackers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunt man t Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 this might soud a stupid question, but alot of people have said koxx browns work a treat on a harsh grind, would they work well on a medium/light grind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
