Dave Anscombe Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I was never dissapointed with my reds...how ever the blues in cnc backings are pretty awsome spartan..id recomend you use the snowies....they do verry well on light/dull and even smooth rims Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsGilly Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Have heatsink stopped selling their red pads? They're not on the website anymore....Did sell them on trials-uk for a while aswell , but could not find them in thier shop either. Just looked on the heatsink website there was a click link for them but it just took me to the Yellow and White pads. If you want some, best bet is to email him , e-mailed him a couple of times really freindley and happy to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Yellow Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 i was enquiring about whether to get reds or coust pads a while ago, and the result were competitive, but i decided to chance it and went for the reds, great pads so why not try the coust?steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 i already have the cousts and they really really suck.I got the ones with black backings and i had to shred on half a chunk of tar to have any preformance at all.Cousts get the a no way from me boys.But the heatsink whites look like a good idea,Has anyone used them, are they solid for smooth/dull ground rims.

Like everyone told you to before...Then your Cousts should work half decently.I've had the yellows, had them on my front vee (smooth rim, no tar) and they were awesome.Had them on the back in plastic backings on a light grind and they were pretty good, but I wore them down to 1mm in a day.

El Cristoff Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Have you tried Phat Pads? I ran phats in CNC backing for ages and wouldn't buy anything else Amazing bite/ hold, nice sound, 10/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_hundley Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Heatsink reds suck IMO, the yellows are far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
