Phatmike Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Afternoon all!Thought I'd let you guys in on the new Phat Pads that've been developing over the last few months. Have recently received the first batch of the final backings (3 prototypes later..), improvements to which include improved aesthetics, reduced weight, and a slimmer profile. The pad material is the same as I've been using for nearly 3 years (Thanks Ali!), and as known by many, it really is the best compound I've ever used. The material is now fully CNC machined for a perfect fit.Slimline backings, only 6mm thick - allows for better clearance and reducing the need to unnecessarily cut down material8mm of traditional Phat Pad material. World-renowned for unbeatable braking power in the wet and dry, on grinds and smooth! Used for over 3 years by some of the world's top riders in over 12 countries.Precision manufactured in Oxford, England (conveniently right next to the rocks for rapid testing :wink2:); fully CNC'd to the highest standard, offering superb looks, finish and performance.Universal pad recess allows any standard material to be used.Only £25! Posted & ready to fit.Material and backings are available separately - £12 and £17 posted respectively.A small selection of rider testimonials can be seen here; http://phatworks.co.uk/testimonial.htmFeel free to contact me for more info and to order!Mike.

Rusevelt Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Impressive claim for these latest pads. is there anyone else other than Ali, and the other top riders whom you conveniently haven't named, who will state these pads perform better than the latest Heatsink pads?

JonMack Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Well if Mike is using them then you gotta take into account that he's another very talented rider who is happy to claim that they are the best pads he's ever used, but I don't see anywhere where he even compared them to another brand of pads.There are plenty of people on the forum who will recommend them,http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ighlite=%2Bphat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Mike i will take some off you dude and is your bike working yet.Cool, give me a shout. It's not at the moment, a stripped ratched in my ProII and an imploded rim within 2 days of each have held things back a bit. pads look sweet dude, might have to get myself a hold of some of these!!!what are you doing regarding re-fills? Is is possible just to purchase re-fill sets? What about the prospect of black backings?Good point Ben. Have added a lil' point about that - yes backings and material are available separately! Black (and indeed any colour) backings can be arranged - it'll be something announced soon enough!Impressive claim for these latest pads. is there anyone else other than Ali, and the other top riders whom you conveniently haven't named, who will state these pads perform better than the latest Heatsink pads?Riders who've used and loved the pads include Damon Watson (still using them), Ben Savage, Ali C, myself, Matt Burrows, and many others.

Bearded Midget Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 i remember jus tafter i got my cousts ans though how can i get a better brake than this, few days later i rode birdmans bike and immediatly asked what pads he had, absolute amazing, he didnt even have much of a grind, which is what i find appealing as i can never get a grind to last!il defo buy some material when my cousts wear down abit more.
