Dale-Hill Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yellows on smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 My guess would be reds on a grind. I'm running the old whites on a grind and not too impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbs Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) One thing I found out from Steve at Heatsink is the yellow and the white (snowies) pads are the same compund, just a different colour.

forteh Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yellow on light grind, cannot fault it at all in any way, shape or form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peggysue Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 yellows on a medium grind = okyellows on a harsh grind = amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yellows on a harsh grind work very well for me. Still pretty slip free even in the wet. They wear a little quicker than I'd like, but I'll live with that for the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Winton. Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Coust on smooth is the best i have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Are the current yellow pads the same compound as the Batch B pads? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scary_jeff Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 I was told that yellow/white/red are all the same compound. Not that impressed with coust greens on smooth, got some HS whites on order, and am hoping to see an improvement. It won't really be a fair test since I'm switching to CNC backings and a water bleed at the same time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scary_jeff Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Snowies on a smooth anodised rim.Best brake ever. No joke. It's ridiculous!!I got my snowies today, and I have to agree with this. Really really impressed, and presumably they bed in and get even better?? Superb. Definitely not going to bother with all this grinding/tar nonsense now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
