SamKidney Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Right, after trawling through the Pad reviews, both of these sound promising. I'm really in two minds. So I'm looking to see what you all think is the best out of the four for all round performance. I ride mostly TGS, so mega bite and hold is a must. Previously had a trialtech rim using the TNNs and Yellows, but held a grind like cheese. Now on an Echo rim and holds a grind forever, so new start really Im wanting to take your opinions on board to help me choose Cheers Sam Edited July 13, 2011 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 From your list, Yellows or Rockpads are a safe choice. Still not as good as propper coust's though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 TNNs and Heatsink Yellows even. Not much said about phatpads or rockpads. Sounds like its down to the LGMs or Yellows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mata22 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 i am loving my phat pads...backings are very nice ( i have black one) and realy quality, material fits backings perfect... also pads vorks great on hard fresh grind, but as grind is geting dead pads remains to vork great. these were my first alu backings so i cant compare them to tnn and others..... but i am sure i will not change my pads to any others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsmax04 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 If you want a brake that will work well no matter what the best pads ive found are the HSB Yellows. Mine last about a year, but I don't ride too often. There cheep too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-mac Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 The best grinder disc i have tried is a TRAVIS PERKINS THIN CUTTING DISC. pretty hard and puts a real nice sharp grind on the rim if used properly, use this with heatsink yellows and its a winner. Itake it you have a good quality rim if not well that could be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to get a good disc to give the perfect grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
