forteh Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Are they good on a medium grind aswell then?how long would they last?Mine are about the best brake Ive used, only downside is theyre pretty noisy. Ive had them 3 months and guess theyve worn about 1-2mm, they should last out a year with my riding but then I dont ride for as long as I used to Obviously performance is dependant on setup, mine works perfectly for me.

Simpson Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 msn or pm alex dark on here Why are you trying to sell for him? I got my hands on some of the proto material I wasn't impressed in the slightest and the quality was poor. Just get what you want Jim, I'm no sales person but my (Now 3 sets of phat pads) have worked amazingly on all rim and grind combos fine. But riders like AliC swear by TNN and others love plaz and koxx browns, just buy what you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Regarding the TNN's on a smooth rim - I have no idea, I only ever run ground rims. I have run te old CRM compound on a muc off'd smooth rim and it was amazing. Maybe your mate needs to clean his rim. Joypads are also pretty good, good bite and noise but lck hold in my opinion. Koxx Brown are the opposite in my experience, great hold but not much bite or noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koxx Brown are the opposite in my experience, great hold but not much bite or noise.Ok then mate At the moment im stuck between getting: TNNs, Phat pads, Coust Yellows (as somone suggested) or Coust greens.Im running Koxx browns at the moment but they only seem to work when i use them on a grind with tar; saying that the grind was flat Edited June 9, 2009 by jim-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) So i guess you've voted for Phat pads?Nope haven't voted for anything, I hate people who post in these topics who don't have a clue about whats really the best, its always giong to be a matter of opinion but before I vote on 6 pads I would liked to have tested them all... which I haven'tHence why 99% of polls on TF are bollocks because people vote for what they have heard or think is best without any first hand exp.edit: the only one on that list I haven't used is TNN compound, but the best of the rest is phat pads without a shaddow of a doubt. Top 3 pads ive used, Heatsink Reds, Rimjam V3's and phats. Edited June 9, 2009 by Simpson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Top 3 pads ive used, Heatsink Reds, Rimjam V3's and phats.Ive found my heatsink yellows to have more bite than my old reds although the wear rate doesnt seem to be quite as good, the increased performance is worth it imho Only set of rimjams I had (greens) died in 4 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
