Sticky! Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I have noticed there arent many pads around atm, but with previous experience im no good. i pick em and they dont bite.I want pads for my front wheel. brake mounted behind the forks. i like gapping to front so they need to bite well. i dont mind weather its smooth or grind as its a new rim so i can do whatever. any reccomendations ?

James Shields Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 I used my mates GU07 and this had reverse maggie mounts with smooth echo rim, he used plazz pads and they truly are amazing, very powerful and very good lock, even if they are new style/: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otacon Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 New Heatsink yellows, if you've got a fully smooth/anodized rim, they'll be mega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Powell Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 No, No, No and no. Dont listen to any of them suggestions or any others, The only pad you want is Heatsink Whites in cnc backings, I used them on a grind, Loudest pads ever, Bitest pads ever. Then my mate had some on his smooth rim, Loudest pads ever, Bitest Pads ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i'v just gone back to koxx browns after a good 4 years or so...and they're still f**king super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 i'v just gone back to koxx browns after a good 4 years or so...and they're still f**king super Same here, had standard Koxx browns on the Czar and they were really good, then got the Brown Crocos on the Yaabaa and they are awesome too. Crocos appear to have a little more bite and noise at the detriment of a small amount of hold, but not really noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Koxx reds or browns on a light/dead grind for the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I'd go with Snowy/Yellows or Blueberries. Don't know which are better, got Bluberries on my front brake and they're great. Used Snowys on the rear for a time and they were great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelistic Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Might have to try some heatsink pads myself. I still struggle to get decent braking performance. I have just ground a new tryall rim with a metal cutting disc at a 90 degree angle (as I think you are supposed to), with either plazzies (yellow) or blue rock pads it seems shite. Drives me mad.... I land the back wheel on an edge, rather than hold the brake goes 'whoosh' and I slip of the obsticle feeling annoyed to be let down!
