hdmackay Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'm wanting new pads and i'm torn between getting Metal CNC'd Aluminium backings or plastic backings.I've heard that CNC'd brake alot better ad don't flex as much and that plastic backings can snap.But also apparently metal backings can crack and snap your pistons.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I'd recommend the PhatPads backings. They're really slim so you can set the slaves in closer, they're nice and stiff and they're not too tight on the slave clip thingy, so they shouldn't snap them off as easy as heatsink ones.

Muel Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Yeh if you run an Echo rim, or a ronnie or something that holds a grind well, get the PhatPads material aswell. They're unreal! Still good on a Koxx/Atomz rim though, just take a while to wear in once the grind has gone blunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they sell the backings seperately?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
