Red Echo Pads

[stunt man t]

hey everyone

im building a bike and chose echo TR rim brakes, which come with red echo pads

i just wonderd what people thought of them as i dont no what there like (allways use yellow croco's) until the bikes complete

as i dont wanna build the bike and then be disappointed about how the brakes perform? and if they are useless i can change them before its complete ?

at the moment ive only got the frt wheel and if i spin it using my hand and pull the lever it sounds good but i wont no how good they are until the bikes built (hold etc)

i havnt grinded the rims yet so i can use any pad (which ever performs better) ill grind the rim if i have to

and ive got plenty of tar but if the echo pads are good then ill keep them.....

if anyone runs them, could you please tell me hows the best way to get maximum performance? smooth/ground rim...tar/no tar

thanks

Echo pads on the front on an anodised rim with a bit of tar are hellish! I'd recommend keeping them on the front.

For the back get either HEatsink Snowies or yellows for smooth or tnn's for smooth or for a grind.
