You're lucky, the grind on my Viz! rim disappears after a ride or so.... now on a Ronnie they would be amazing, if only Onza made a 47mm wide rim out of the same stuff they made a Ronnie with.....

Ah the joys of a DX32 :)

I was very impressed with the performance on these pads.

I've always been very sceptical with brake pads, mainly because, no matter who's set-up I copy mine is always shocking.

I've never really run grinds due to my dislike to the feel that they give so I've been more of a smooth rim/dead grind person, in my 3 years and a bit years of riding I've had. Magura blacks, echo reds, koxx bloks, onza citruses, Countsinks, phatpads, and now finally Heatsink Yellows.

I'm running a very dead grind where these pads work perfectly, once in a while applying tar just to give it that extra stick for confidence and peace of mind.

The noise they produce (a lot!) is relative to the hold they also generate, as in the past I have had plenty of noisy pads which don't hold for crap!

Very very good pads, I will definitely buy these next time and some of the cheapest with CNC backings I believe.

I used to use HS Reds, they didn't have the best hold, but then again i never set them up right.

Yet i am using HS yellows now and they are the best pads i have ever used, though i have only used 3 sets of pads.

Heatsink Yellows,Grind + water bleed = win, In my opinion.

Your probably gonna want them CNC'd backings aswell, they are Da Bomb :P

It is bruv, innit.

Yeah i run them in plastic backings just now and they are very loud, especially with tar. Wakes up the street :giggle:

Why run them with tar ? .. I have the CNC'd backed ones. No tar , running on a dead grind left from the winter. They are amazing, Honk like hell aswel. Pitty I don't enjoy the noise :(

I use them with tar because when i got them on they weren't square, so wore at a really weird angle and were very poor, tar was the only solution as i don't trust myself trying to fix my brake, i always fail completly.

I'm using these on the rear as they are fantastic. When my rear brake decides to work! But yeah, great bike and lock. Nice sound too. Quite a mid squeek compared to my white echos that produce a very high pitched squeek. Both on medium grinds though. Can't fault em.
