To remove the material, stick the pads in a pan of boiling water, then just pull them apart. No clue whatsoever to what glue to use though. Kieran.

I think most people use superglue, not 100% on that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukasMcNeal Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 To install 'em just put a dab of glue on the backings and put the pad into the recess and press together. Wipe excess glue (if any) and leave to dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatsink Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hi, To remove pads from CNC backings I would first try and twist out the pads from one end with my teeth! This is possible on Alu backed pads because the glue bond between pads and alu isn't as strong as the plastic backed ones. For the fitting of new refills, below is a link to a photo guide I put together for Heatsink CNC backings. The advice is also vaild for the various copy CNC backings which came out later. http://www.heatsinkb...om/?p=padsguide Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 A little bit of superglue should do you fine on the TNNs - I put a set of LGMs into some backings a few days ago and they're a super nice fit If you're ever lucky enough to get a set of the Plazmatic CNC backings that came out about 10 or so years ago, Steve's advice should work too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had only had limited production runs and died out due to design and cost issues. HeatsinkBikes CNC backings were the first to solve all the issues dogging the concept including establishing the availability of refills (all at a reasonable price), so became globally successful. As a result the way was paved for others to follow.... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Limburn Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 pretty sure i didnt even glue my coustsink refills in when i got them haha. was ages ago now, and i had no problems. one of the maggie piston nipples has since snapped off into the cnc backing which is annoying though, hence now running one coustsink and one proper old koxx brown!

rupintart Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 What sort of glue? i have TNN backings, will i have to trim the the pad atall? Dude, you answered all of your question in that post alone. If you haven't noticed, trials bikes are a bit of a bodge job to get things to work, grinding rims to work, trimming pads, superglue, etc. And yes, it's superglue. The search function works well.
