Sam T Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) a 1000 pardons sir sorry for not being on here to read every single thread like you, a yes or no would have sufficed but act like a tool instead Didnt mean to offend you. I dont read every single thread on here ( dont have enough time! ) but i've been on this forum for a couple of years now. This question always pops up every now and again, that there's a difference between the pads direct from Michel compared to Steve @ Heatsink. If you email Steve direct then he will tell you that the compound is exactly the same. He gets it in a sheet form and cuts it himself, which could explain why it might look different. Sorry for coming across like a knob. Edit: Take a look at this thread mate. Will find your answer in here.

isitafox Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I used to run lgms up front and hs yellows rear. The lgms were awesome up front so I'd highly recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, glad I read this thread as was gutted when Nick Manning ran out of Cousts. Least I know the heatsink ones are exactly the same xD What is better though? - LGM, Belaeys or Coust?

My link i appreciate you clearing that up because i've only started using this site again in the last month or two and kept reading conflicting reports, i'f that's the case surely the heatsink cnc backings make them more value for money and therefor better back when i started we had two choices magura black or magura red oh how times have changed!

No worries! Yep if you havnt already, I'd go for something with CNC backings. If you buy Heatsink backings, then all refills will fit in them apart from the Tnn pads. Once you've bought a set of CNC backings you can buy refills and reuse the backings, works out cheaper over a period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunny12345 Posted December 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 any of you know how good tnn belaey is on the front? good or not so good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam T Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Didn't know that TNN's won't fit in Heatsink backings, do Heatsinks fit in TNN backings? They can fit with some minor modifications including a stanley blade! From the top of my head, its easy to cut up a pair of Heatsink/Phat/Rockman pads to fit into Tnn backings, but a bit more difficult to do Tnn into Heatsink/Phat/Rockman backings. But it can be done!

p_ruskin Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 but a bit more difficult to do Tnn into Heatsink/Phat/Rockman backings. But it can be done! my LGMs went into phat backings with ease , but yeah as sam explained, you usually can get any pad in any backing with a bit of cutting/sanding down not going to get into the coust debate, but ive had both and they are certainly not the same!

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 any of you know how good tnn belaey is on the front? good or not so good? I personally run belaey fronts and LGM rear when using dual maguras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they aren´t,heatsinks come in CNC backings and are 4mm thinner (material)...Compound is the same,get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 ah cool thats im thinking of doing that, whats it like? LGM has alot of bite and hold so perfect for rear. Belaey's have some modulation before locking so great on the front and no need for harsh grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 LGM has alot of bite and hold so perfect for rear. Belaey's have some modulation before locking so great on the front and no need for harsh grind. This is true. I run the Belaey on front and the be greens on the rear Best set up I've ever used. I highly recommend this set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Ive found Beleays to be better than the LGM's. So much so Ive bought a set of refills to replace my LGMs that wont work well at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I've just landed some too so this is just what I wanted to hear having new used em before Beleays are great. Get them on a nice, SHARP, medium grind and your onto a winner. I ran them on my old 06 Python with no booster ( flexxyyyy frame ) and they were still incredible. They are less grind dependent than LGM's and seem to offer just as much hold. Work well in the wet to, and the pads don't round off as easily with the chamfered edges. All round brilliant pad Edited December 12, 2011 by Echo Lite 09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
