SamKidney Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Had this sat in the garage and thought Id build it up and see what its like. Bought it as a whole bike but stripped it to build my Onza Ice 2. Riding it for this week, or maybe until I get my bleeding kit so I can run the hosing through the Ices Frame.

koxxboy14 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Nice man , how do you find your heatsink yellows? Put them on on friday and have ridden every day since then. They have great bite and sound but no hold. Just wondering if its me or other people find this to. Maybe there still bedding in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best pads ever I reckon (Allong with TNN Beleays) What grind you running them on mate? Ive found that if your grinds too harsh, they wont hold well. Best for them is a sharp medium grind using a metal slitting disc on the grinder. Light pressure and a 45 degree angle on the grinder. Make sure your setup is all nice and square and run a booster if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your setup is all nice and square and run a booster if necessary well when I first put them on I had them on a dead grind. They still had very good bite and sound, but lacking in hold. Re-ground the rim this morning using the metal cutting disc and gave it a medium grind. Has improved the bite and given them a louder honk but still have very poor hold.
