First of all theres, a thred just abit further down the trials chat part about these pads,

but use a grind, always use a grind for any pad you use

I ran them with a tiny bit of a tar on a smooth rim and they were amazing.

But then i have heard people say with a grind there amazing so its down to personal preference really , run them smooth for a week or two and if there not to good give it a grind.

So either way they are amazing really. With a smooth rim, use a bit of tar or have a grind? Im considering getting some, will a heavy grind mangle these pads?

Or just learn how to control your landings, set your brake up properlly in the first place and actually pull it.....

Works for me.

For now, I would keep it smooth, set up your brake perfectly and try it for a bit. See how you get on, if you don't like it then grind it.

Mine are lasting really well with a medium grind, once they have bedded in the firs 2mm or so (happens quite quickly) they seem to last for ages; I wouldnt like to comment on a harsh grind though. Mine work 100%, not let me down yet

thanks everyone, think ill try them on a smooth rim and grind it if need be.

The key, I've found is having a light to medium sharp grind. Had my pads about 8-9 months riding once or twice a week on average and they are about a third worn? (and that includes a bit of sanding just to keep them perfectly square as they wore at a very slight angle once or twice) Hope this helps you!

A grind makes your brake alot better, without having to use tar ect.. so why wouldnt you

A grind is also so sooo much better in wet weather
