Dave! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi, I've just been given some Onza Lime brake pads and I just wanted to know if they are any good.I currently run Koxx Bloxx (yellow) on the front with a smooth rim and I must of had them at least two or more years now so its time for some new ones, and was thinking of just sticking these on. Good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea?I run onza citrus (same compound diff colour. But stick with your bloxx mate imo. They are ok but nothing special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 If they were free then does it matter?They work quite well on a grind but dont last for very long, on smooth they hold alright but require a bit of tar to get the best out of them imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispyboy Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) They are very good pads for the price and on a grind they hold and bite just no noise Edited January 11, 2009 by crispyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan GU Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) Keep the Koxx Bloxx yellows (if theres enough left lol) because there better than Onza Citrus. Edited January 11, 2009 by Jordan GU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Shields Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 My mate ran these on the back on a form of grind, they had good hold and were ok pads. For the price they are never going to be the best, but keep the koxx pads and just try them out, you never know!james. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickdonboy Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i'd personally stick with cnc stuff. really reliable. i dislike onza parts because i think their made of cheese but give them a go. echo reds or heatsink yellow/plazmatic are the way foward IMOnick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
