Muel Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yellows are not better though, my mate had some reds and they shat all over my yellows.The yellows were alright when new, but just no hold at all now, just gave it a fresh grind aswell and no difference.

My reds were mint on my Ko, then when I got my Le with a built in booster I ran a top booster and they must have been the worst thing ever.....

Muel Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Yep, still allows quite a bit of flex though, but everyone I know who has them has said the same, the reds hold way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 I know My fannycombe got the last (selling) pair.TECHNICALLY he didn't buy the last pair (let the guessing game begin)And yea as I've said for years best 3 pads, phats, HS reds and rimjam v3's. Nothing better than those, haven't heard great things about the yellows, but I've run my phat pads for 6 months with no sign of wear, so im happy enough lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cai Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Is your grind mega sharp? Or do they work on a "normal" grind?Mine worked really well on practacally a dead grind for months and months, then when I got a hold of some Heatsink red compound I gave sold the phat material to Ozzy - he's not getting on well with them at all My set up was alot stiffer than his though, so maybe this is why?

Fixed Pants™ Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Phats are possibly the best ever pads i've ever used. Not had personally, but used on many a bike...2nd to bigman or prawn (can never remember) awesomely perfect coustcncs on an uber sharp grind when he had his coust frame...My cousts were good for ages, then they went a bit poo, and still are, bit of tar livens them up, probably my dead dead grind though...I never had a go on a bike with reds that worked well.

Mark W Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 They're not as good as the Koxx greens, that's what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 In all honesty I feel the yellows are as good as the reds, more bite but alittle more wear. They do need a sharp grind though, hold on a dull grind is pretty poor. Keep your grind sharp and they work perfectly in the wet or dry - the abingdon DJ ride proved that.I still have my reds at home, just not much material left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otacon Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Whats wrong with koxx bloxx browns?Nothing. I'm running some 3 year old one's with about 2mm of material left, still got loads of bite, mega loud and lots of hold.They're not as good as the Koxx greens, that's what True. Greens are the best Koxx pads along side the blue's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hehe, I have koxx bloxx browns and my brake is a bit lacklustre. The grind I've got is quite dead now. When you use it they make this kind of swishy noise, although they have started to make a proper noise, which they never used to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 True. Greens are the best Koxx pads along side the blue's.Amen. Koxx blues are just daft! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 Is your grind mega sharp? Or do they work on a "normal" grind?I have run them on sharp grinds and they are amazing. But ever since i got my inspired (4-8 months ago) been on a dead grind, no tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 They're not as good as the Koxx greens, that's what Im running koxx greens now in the rear, koxx yellows on the front. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
