Ben John-Hynes Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'm pretty sure the colour of the old ones was a darker yellow, as I had some and they were almost a light orange. And the old ones will last years on a decent grind, new ones will shit themselves within days. Old ones are harder too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nope, just search for loads of makes followed by trials several times a week, seems to be working, I've got two bikes builds on the go at the moment, so I need a fair old lick of stuff!

PaRtZ Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 How come pad manufacturers havent made a black pad yet? It would be easier to tell apart from standard maggy blacks, and would be easy to tell apart from all other pads too?Or purple pads? Hence this topic would become redundant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 What about rainbow pads for all the weed smokers out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence this topic would become redundant In many cases black things are pigmented with carbon black, which I believe tends to have lubricating/slippery properties (as well as being very low wear). Phat pads seem kind of purply though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Muel, if they're the dodgy ones, you can pretty much pull them apart. I think Tarty Adam said you could bite them in two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Adam does have extra strong jaws and teeth from years of pad biting though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
