scottcj9 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Just built my new stock, zoo! pitbull 09, was just wondering what gearing everyone runs? Im running 18/15 but it feels too low but im not sure, just thought id ask what others run. Also, rear brake isnt particularly sharp and also doesnt make any noise which i find wierd, im running an echo tr rim brake, with onza lime pads, on an echo urban rim with a harsh grind. How can i improve the rear brakes sharpness, and make it squeak more? Thanks Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lime pads are n't that good Get some ssss-sick pads. Also, 18/15 is stock standard, but if you think it's low, use 18/14,. why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Get some TNN LGM's but you got to set them up perfect or they wear wierd. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottcj9 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks for the replies, the onza limes were free thats why i used them, is there much difference between the TNN LGM's and the TNN Belaey's? Are there any pads designed to be run on an extremely harsh grind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 (edited) Well if you want a harsh grind i would still use a set of LGM's but tartybikes recomend a deep grind and i dont think there's much difference between the the two pads except one of them is used by kenny belaey, hope i helped. Adam The LGM's are also refillable so once bought you only need to buy refills at £15 not £30 like you pay for the backings and pads I use 18-22 gearing Edited December 18, 2010 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Although pads do perform differently on different rims, I have the mod version of the echo urban rim on a medium/harsh grind and the LGM's perform flawlessly. Stupidly decent amount of bite and hold . Just thought it would help because we have the same rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
