N.Wood Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Had a very quick blast on Stan's Hydroxx at koxx days, and didn't really get a feel for the hold on the flat bit of ground, but the bite was really good, and the hold looked really good too.Will be getting some ASAP!

Ali C Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 highly recommended! The CNC backings are the pimpest things ever and the Plaz compound is amazing as ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elliott the onza man Posted May 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hello again, does anyone know if they hold okay in the wet.Thanks, Elliott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hello again, does anyone know if they hold okay in the wet.Thanks, Elliott.I don't know how much different the compound has changed (if any), but when I had the old plazys they got considerbly worst and did't hold very well unless you really pull down the lever. That might just have been down to my grind at that time though, it was a light but sharp grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 highly recommended! The CNC backings are the pimpest things ever and the Plaz compound is amazing as ever!On that; is it the same as the older compound? Or is it still the shit new one? In the wet even the old ones were shit on a good grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 same as the older original compound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 same as the older original compoundhaha, would say that that was openly admitting there was a different compund....but i dont fancy the arguement that'll come with that statement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 haha, I don't know much about the compounds used other than the ones that seemed good and the ones we could bite chunks off with our teeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 haha, would say that that was openly admitting there was a different compund....but i dont fancy the arguement that'll come with that statement Pretty sure everyone in the world other than Tim will openly admit the 2 compounds arn't the same.

Dave Anscombe Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 So this new tnn pad compound is the old old old plazmatic crm yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Yes xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 These are truely the latest pads on the market and with the most advanced backings.Tried near enough all pads on the market and nothing compares to the solid feel these have.TNN are continuously creating new compounds to test so expect more from them.

Sethgun Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Ok so I received my pads today from Tim @ Expressive bikes (thanks tim, ur a champion) and I gotta say....yes they are that good. Im not even running a grind and have been using roc greens in normal black backings. They held real well and loud as fu@k (bite was ok) and going to these, i noticed a difference even without them bed in yet! Compound is spot on, can only get better on a light grind but im not gonna bother, its better setup than other grinds ive rode.Took them on a 2hr ride tonight and 1. Bite is very, very sweet 2. Holds unbeliveaby well. Rocs i needed to squeeze quite firmly to get them to hold well but these, hardly any effort at all. 3. Shit they are loud!!!! I thought my roc greens squeeled, these put them to shame.Also when holding they feel much firmer on the lever bc of the cnc backings, and they look real sweet too. Yeh u can cut a block of aluminium up to suit but this is like a work of art in comparison, and nice detail with the engraved logo. Gussets do a good job of keeping the strength up while shedding even more weight. Good on you Lee, mighty fine product. 4 thumbs up (counting 2 big toes as thumbs here) Edited May 7, 2009 by Sethgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r2wtrials Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 haha, I don't know much about the compounds used other than the ones that seemed good and the ones we could bite chunks off with our teeth As a matter of interest... could you pop out and weigh them for me and PM me back ...

Muel Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Whaaattt, how come Adam? Thats mad! What about when people wear them out? Or if they already have CNC backings?I'll buy a set of refills if they bring them out, but I'm not buying new backings, my brakes good enough already.
