Kieran Morrison Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Absolutly amaaaaazing. I used to have a set, lasted from july till a few weeks ago but then they got really low on life. But that was because i got a REALLY sharp grind which just killed them. The hold is truely amazing, and the bite is astonishing. They dont work all the time, somedays the bite will be good, others it wont be so good. But the hold is the same everyday, wet or dry.

dann2707 Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I found them very temperamental, at first they were quite bitey but just lost it completely. Pay an extra £5, get TNN LGM's and never look back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Rockpads are my only choice, best i have found. But i would be satisfied with either TNN pads too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary-mac Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Rockpads are my only choice, best i have found. But i would be satisfied with either TNN pads too. Try-all croca pads, yellow,blue i found alright but nothing special. Rockman i found good but never really had a bite to it but worked well in the wet. tnn kennys i found at first where awesome in dry and wet but then lost all bite/power plus they hate the cold so now trying phatpads and there simply awesome!!! -10 they still had a really good bite and serious hold can't fault them one bit in any condition. waiting on heatsink pads coming, coust and yellows so will be testing these out to see what there like.

Kieran Morrison Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Or save yourself a tenner or so, and buy some plasmatics? The clear ones are beast (limited edition ones i beleive?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Ive had my heatsink yellows for over a year now, about half worn (although I dont get to ride so much these days), running on a medium/light grind and theyre completely reliable, awesome bite and hold in both wet and dry and good wear rate; only down side for me is the stupendous noise If your grind dulls too much they lose ALOT of hold but keep the bite, just an easy way to know when your grind needs refreshing Will definitely be getting some more yellow refills when these finally dissapear. For reference Im using '97 HS33 slaves, RB lever, water/oil/antifreeze emulsion bled, DX32 with medium/light grind, triton frame with home made 2bolt carbon plate booster - I prefer my brake to have a little squish in it as it stops my tendonitis playing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 That sort of depends if they're actually Plaz pads or not though, in that it appears there are people calling non-Plaz pads "Plasmatic". If they ain't CRMs, they ain't shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
