David 200909 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Easy! Brake = 33 maggy, with heatsink CNCed yellow blocks.Tyre = Dual ply Maxxis Minion. And for a wee bit extra grip from it, de-ramp the blocks with a scalpel.That is what I run on my stock and I'm very very happy with it, neither of them have ever let me down.Trial to Live - Live to Trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Pads: TNN LGMs on a VERY light grind, or Rock Blues on a medium grind. I have TNNs at the moment but will be moving back to rock pads soon.Tyre: 2.35/2.5 High Roller, 42a, Dual ply. Winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Yeah so as you can see, there isn't a "best pad" or "best tyre"*. It's ALL personal preference.*Yes there is.
