Davetrials Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Well its time i got back on the bike and I've got everything sorted accept pads, I've been out of the scene for a while now so I've completely lost touch with all the current products. so what's the pads everyone is screaming about nowadays for vees and maggies.? also is there any pads that arnt on CNC backings even worth looking at?

craigjames Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Dave, glad to see you're finally getting a bike sorted, 24? Over the last 6 months i've tried Koxx browns, Coustsinks and Heatsink yellows. The Koxx pads were awesome on a decent grind in most conditions with awesome wear rate, the coustsinks were ok, but in my opinion not any better than the browns. I've had a set of heatsink yellows on for a week now and i've been really impressed with them, great bike and good hold, not tried them in the wet yet though; they do seem to be a fair bit softer than the Koxx Browns and i think thats the only issue i have with them. All of mine have been in CNC backings so can't help you otherwise, but i'm sure they'd be fine in powerpad backings as used by Steve.

Ben John-Hynes Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Croco browns in plastic backings. Mine are insane. They're worn at a shit angle 'cause I'm a mong, and they're still stupidly good. Really nice noise too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
