Mikey-uk Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Heya, Onza Citrus on a dead grind are no good in the wet and only somtimes good in the dry (depends if there's an invisible layer of dust or somthing else on the rim) so i'm looking for some decent pads.I was told that the LGM's were amazing but acording to Tarty they're better for ground rims wheras the CRM's are advertised for smooth, light grind or dead grind.What do you guys think about the pads? Or are there any other pads decent on a dead grind?NOT going to grind my rim so don't even sugest it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the famous Heatsink Reds.Or as reveolver has just said, grind your rim for the best performance.

Mikey-uk Posted November 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Thanks allen, i'm not grinding the rim but neither am I running it on a smooth rim. I need a brake that will be beast on a dead/worn grind, why do you mention the LGM's but not the CRM's which are specified to be used on a worn grind?Ben, just had a look and seen that they're listen as discontinued. No idea why they're still on tarty though :/ Edited November 21, 2009 by Mikey-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger allen echo Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 I have been on three different bikes that have had the CRM's on a smooth and grind. They were all pretty rubbish.Iv'e got the LGM's on a smooth and they are insane!Heatsink Yellows are supposed to be a very good pad to use on a dead grind. Or you could sand your sidewalls down with wet and dry sandpaper.How did you get the link to the CRM's? tarty ahve taken them off the website.

LukasMcNeal Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 eventually replace the rim unless I have to.Eventually, the rim would of probably broke before you put too many grinds on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
