Revolver Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) EDIT: sorry im not sure why the pictures havnt come up, and turned into links.Because you pressed the url button, which looks like a mouse, cause you click on urls, and not the picture button, which is the next one along, the one that sort of looks like a picture.I guess they could be koxx brown pads?

Alex Dark Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 fine pads on smooth with tar theyre old magura koolstops...clean rim with a smidge of tar and they'll work great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 They're pretty consistent in all conditions on a ground rim, just have nothing like the bite and hold of trials specific pads. The good side of this is you can modulate the brakes for manuals (I've been totally unable to manual for any distance since I changed to trials specific pads) and they're much quieter... If you've never used a trials brake before they're seriously powerful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dale-Hill Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 |Trust me with tar most brakes work better but make sure you put tar on, if your runnign these with a smooth rim, as there crap without Or do what Muel said! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
