indianatrials Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) I need pads for the wet. I have a vee setup and a maggie setup i can use, whichever would be better. A budget of 25 pounds max. or 40$. I like LOUD SHARP bite with good hold, not as big of a deal as loud and sharp. What should i get? They really need to work good in the dry too.Thanks Edited August 22, 2009 by indianatrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Best pads I've EVER used, and I mean used on anyone's bike were my Koxx blues. Better than phat, plaz, try-all, everything. Seriously, get to your local halfords and order some!They worked in water, shitty muddy puddles, mud, dry and had an amazing wear life!

Borat Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I run koxx greens and koxx yellows and they are as good in the wet as they are in the dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 My koxx greens actually preformed better in the wet than in the dry on a light grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falmouth_trials Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Tnn pads are the best I've ever used, give so much confidence! They also make the most amazing noise and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using them on a fresh medium grind, which was pretty shitty 'cause it was a crap rim. But a fresh, medium grind will be AWESOME with Blues!

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 The LGM's are a stunning pad in the wet. Last for ages the only test rider to wear out a pair so far is TRA and he rides heaps!They are outta your budget but that'll last you a long time and are cheap to refill. http://www.vimeo.com/6197626This is as good as braking can sound.

Rob Leech Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Phat pads or heatsink yellows chap, been using my TNN LGM's for probably just over a month and there's now about 1mm of pad left , was the same with the CRM's i had before these.Just a bit of honest advice .Cheers,Josh.

Muel Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've heard the wear rate wasn't amazing, but a week and a half!Maybe they just don't agree with normal-harsh grinds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 what are people doing if their LGM pads are lasting such a short amount of time?? I am still on my first pair and they are barley half worn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 Im still on my first set of LGM's from 4 months ago!!!I am really keen to ride with some of you guys who are wearing them out in a week and a half!!!TRA cant even wear them out in a week and a half! I cant wear them out in a week and of half- even if it was my mission!Seriously, the LGM's are awesome all round pads and provide confidence in wet, dry and muddy conditions.Definitely worth the investment!Lewis.

Alex Dark Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 bigman and kierans are wearing extremely fast as well, id buy some refills for sure if it wasn't for the epic wear rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 On a normal grind they don't last at all! At the start of today I had about 3mm of material left, and now after the Reading ride I'm right down to the backing! The brake is actually unusable. I don't know if it was becuase they were on a fresh grind, but the wear life is shocking as far as I'm concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Koxx Browns on a medium/sharp grind! I've used these pads ever since I started trials and they've always performed extremely well, When set up properly they last easily over a year (well my pairs have anyways) been running a pair on my Python since 2006 and they're still pretty meaty.Can be bought from Tarty bikes and they're like £18. Try-all Croco'sbeen running koxx blues up front on a smooth rim for a while now, not amazing in the rain on a smooth rim but brilliant when its dry! and they've barely worn down at all.

I've had my proto set in for the past 2 1/2 months with barely any wear. And that's been through at least 3 very harsh grinds!!I rode 2 comps in 2 days in the wet, mud, river... even through a river.. and the pads still made a loud noise on the other end! I have NEVER had a pad do that.Was a little skeptical at first when Lewis talked them up (cos they had his name on it haha), but he wasn't kidding.. they f**king work.
