hey fella just a few questions regarding brake set up

What rim are you using? This matters as some pads work better on specific rims!

Ground or smooth ?

brake booster or not ?

i run a echo rim with a 4 bolt trial tech booster and a medium grind!

My choice of pads

Try stretch your amount to £34. You can get the TNN LGM ( http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/hs33_brake_pads/tnn_engineering_lgm/c4p10892.html )for that amount. They are grate pads, take ages to wear away and have good bite. If you cant then I would go with the Heatsink yellows. (Y)

Couldn't agree more with that statement, I've had mine for well over a year now and they've been on the rear and on the front and there's still loads left. And I ride pretty frequently.

They've got amazing bite on a nice fresh grind but I foudn when I had them on the rear that they do have a tendency to slip back when on the edge of a wall. Heatsink yellows seem to have far superior hold and a nice honk when they are nice and flat against the rim. But I found the grind had to be always pretty fresh.

I've only heard good things about coust pads so i'm going to be trying them next !! :)
