I have been using rock blues... with a light to medium grind. Brilliant in wet or dry conditions.

I do use a light touch of tar just to be sure but i think that is more for my head than to make any difference with the performance.... whatever it stops my 14 stone of crap riding as soon as i pull the lever.!! :D

Wierd, i'm running Onza Limes on my front brake on smooth (I know they are meant for grinds) And they are awesome!

As for the back brake, I have Heatsink Snowy's on smooth. They are so good and I recommend them. I think they can be used on grinds aswell.:)

They are £15 in powerpad backings.

Are they any good on a smooth rim?

yea they are, i have a now smooth back rim after having it grinded by tarty when i got my rim and my maggie needs bleeding. i trust them more with that setup than my echos on a perfectly bled brake

the only thing I'd say about asking other people to reccomend pads is that everyone wants something different from a brake and only you kow what you'll want for yourself. Look at Rowan Johns for example; arguably one of the greatest street riders this country has ever produced, still using standard black pads on a smooth rim. Works for him.

Pad reviews thread is your best bet, have a gander through there and see what tickles your fancy.

Ordered some HEATSINK YELLOWS in metal backings just wondering how long they will take to come because i ordered them 2days ago 1st class postage?

Rob.

Tommorrow at the latest I would have said, best email Steve to check though. I ordered my Yellows on Sunday night, they arrived on Tuesday. They're amazing though, good choice! I've got mine in Phatpads backing though.
