Azarathal Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I've found LGM's to be unreliable. Good one moment and terrible the next. Never owned a set of Heatsink yellows but I've ridden 3-4 bikes with the pads and they were amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 tried both and the TNNs were better, the heatsinks didn't have the hold I would get with the TNNs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the pad review section, although i must say and its a bit OT, but i just got phatpads and they are very very good, better than yellows! And the thing people keep saying about lgms is you need the PERFECT set-up for them to work good, it was like that with baeleys and if it isnt perfect its crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithy83 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 tnns are a good pad all round. heatsinks are also good for bite but i found they lack abit on hold. now riding some croco yellows and find them realy good for hold and bite. it all depends what you are looking for in a pad.good hold or something which will suite you all round.have a look in the pad review and you will find some realy good reviews in there which should help you.

Tom Canham Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 My LGM's have really good bite and hold, but they are really loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is weird because I have always heard they have great hold but the bite is not as excellent as LGMs. I have experienced both and Try-All Crocos and original Coust pads. I will always use the Heatsink pads from now on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mac Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 tried them all and the heatsink yellows win hands down!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 My HS CNC Yellows work amazingly. Smooth rim, dead grind, light grind, medium grind. WIN. Mega bite, lock and hold. Currently running them on a light grind ATM and has held on everything today, even with my ghetto setup. Cant wait for my new frame, then I can set them up properly, and then they win even more....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 tried both and the TNNs were better, the heatsinks didn't have the hold I would get with the TNNs I found the complete opposite to this! TNN's slipped all day long, where my Heatsink Whites just held no problem. The bite was very similar on both pads.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepo09 Posted April 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 tried both and the TNNs were better, the heatsinks didn't have the hold I would get with the TNNs I have a 4 bolt booster set up would it change in the sound of the pads? bite or hold? (of course it will change the hold hehe) cause right now my brake isn't sounding or biting.. Also I have an other question for you Ali hehe... do you think that a frame will crack if I don't use a booster ( I have zoo piranha 09 frame ) Thanks. Also Thanks to all for answering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
