Greetings Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Trials-bikes.com or something like that stocks the "real" pads, although they're no more real than Heatsinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are the same why don't they both perform or even look the same?, heatsink ones are gash compared to 'real' ones not supplied from heatsink TrialProd Pads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob. Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 "Real" cousts and heatsink cousts are the same thing, why wont you people get it into your f**king heads? no there not i dont think! ive seen both pairs on different bikes and have to see the 'real' cousts, work better then heatsink cousts. If they are the same why don't they both perform or even look the same?, heatsink ones are gash compared to 'real' ones not supplied from heatsink TrialProd Pads too true!

Ali C Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 "real" cousts look different because they are sanded (or similar) on all sides which gives a different shape and texture to Steve's. Performance-wise, that could be down to the backings, how tall the pads are, what shape the pads are, rim grinds, brake set-up. The people who say one works better than the other are probably the same people who don't like TNN pads, I am suspicious of these people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thing i dont understand is, why would the person who supplies Heatsink ( which im guessing is someone from the Coust family ) want to sell Heatsink 'worse' compound? 1, it would make everyone think they're shit and give Coust Pads a bad name and 2 , I dont think he'd go to the bother? Correct me if im wrong though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 trialprod.com. Worth it is all I'll say! Don't want to spark off another debate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Steve said he gets his compound from Michael Coustellier. His word should be enough for you guys. I've tried the real cousts against Heatsinks and they perform the same. + what Ali said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koxxboy14 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 (edited) I've tried the real cousts against Heatsinks and they perform the same. you are wrong!!!! Edited October 7, 2011 by koxxboy14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I haven't done a durometer test or anything on them, but in *my opinion* there is a marked difference between the two; as Ali stated this could be to do with any of the variables listed. I haven't personally used TNN LGM's but I've seen two sets that were utter shite....again just what I have seen and not necessarily a proper experience of the pads as a whole, compound or the company.

Revolver Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 you are wrong!!!! You are a tit!!!! If Steve was selling knock-off coustellier pads, Michel Coustellier would be right on his back for ruining his product's reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I bought a pair of CNC backed cousts from steve the other week... Is there actually any difference between the pads other than sanded round the sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
