extremedougie Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hi guys At the moment i run neon green brake pads on the back and they were working really well but recently they haven't been working as well as they could so i think its time i got some new pads i have a few in mind but just wandered if anybody had any suggestions? p.s i have a smooth rim, not ground and i would like to spend about 15 to 20 pounds thanks.

Topsy Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 I also (probably) have the same problem with my pads.. I tried: -Inspired ones. Were ok untill half broke off. -Onza Citrus which worked ok after riding down a steep hill. (usually had no hold again the next day.) Now I've got Rockman Greens which somehow only seem to work under 15°C ??! Slip like s*** when it's warmer. Ideas? (apart from a grind) by the way, did you try sanding them down a little? Mine sometimes had dirt on them which stoped them from working corectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 Heatsink Blue pads. I was amazed how well they worked on a smooth rim, really really good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted April 16, 2011 Report Share Posted April 16, 2011 If you only ever ride in the dry then get some heatsink yellows, unbelievable on a smooth rim. I run them front and rear on my stock with a smooth rim up front and grind on the rear, awesome setup as long as it stays dry though I'll be grinding my front as well soon!
