dann2707 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 A good water bleed for the extra snappyness and quick response. Good pads such as the heatsink yellows, set perfectly square to the rim. A light grind but I would do without it as the pads work great without anyway. I never have the need to use tar on the back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh barker Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) A good water bleed for the extra snappyness and quick response. Good pads such as the heatsink yellows, set perfectly square to the rim. A light grind but I would do without it as the pads work great without anyway. I never have the need to use tar on the back though. what i use but with a 4 finger lever blade, gives 16% more power. heatsink yellows for the win .medium-light or dead grind, the heatsink yellows work best on. so much bite and hold. i find this set up works the same in the wet too which a lot of other pads dont even on a grind. nice noise too -The pads can be found here - Edited July 28, 2010 by josh barker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Is the 16% more power thing a joke yeah? :/ Forgot to mention I'm using 04 hs-33's. Ftmfw. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made so that the section you grip can only take one finger, quit being pedantic. http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10611&category_id=53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt.price Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 id say its worth forking out the cash for decent pads . heatsink yellows , rockman , tnn etc. a grind . for wet weather . a tiny bit of tar ( and i mean a tiny bit ) pads set up perfectly excellent bleed ( i use water , but its dont to personal preference ) ice basically just saaid what everyone else has said but oh well :turned: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
