gu trials Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 i bet the biggest popularity of topics in this section of trials forum is about smooth/ grind and what pads, theres a pad review in the top part of this section look in there for what pads people use on smooth and what they use on a grind. im fairly sure they say how it works in different weather aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
