nickdonboy Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Right, thinking about getting some new pads shortly, and i've narrowed down which ones i will proably get. But just need the last decision? The pads are Atomz, Coust, Tnn or Phat. Does it make a differance if they are in CNC backing or not? I have a light sharp grind, but does it matter if its blunt? cheers nick. Edited May 15, 2009 by nickdonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Powell Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 The old plazmatics back in 2005-2006? were amazing but then Tim from plazmatic decided to update there pad material in 2007? (feel free to correct me) And they just made them worse and were f**king awfull pads, Everybody hated them. None the less Tim who created plazmatics was adament that they were the same compound which everyone new they weren't. Now the TNN Crms have come about and are apperently the same compound as the plazmatics from 2005-2006 (i think thats the years the good ones were about)?

grant_hundley Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 And they just made them worse and were f**king awfull pads,I liked mine Were loud, bitey and held perfectly. Lasted for about 4 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Probably had the originals then, Tarty got a batch in once you could actually bite chunks out of.I've heard numerous stories from people that wore out the old CRMs, bought the new ones and they were utter shite, wore down really fast on the same grind and no bite or hold.The TNNs are the same compound as the originals, so with the new backings aswell they'll be amazing.

will Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 I'm running plazmatics at the moment, there epic pads. What does with the new metal backings, if I don't set it up 100% square with the rim as tarty indicates is it going to foul up my magura pistons?
