SamKidney Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Just spotted these on Trialshop.pl. Sounds like they've just taken the BBB Tie Fighter pad backing and whacked their own compound in. Not sure on how neon pads perform, as Ive never used them, but thought Id share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Isnt that the idea of a forum? To share and hear peoples opinions on things? LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Gething Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Guess its that time of the month for him Not sure how those pads would perform though, surely you want a larger surface contacting the rim not a smaller surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Comes down to pressure over area then less area more pressure Guess its that time of the month for him Not sure how those pads would perform though, surely you want a larger surface contacting the rim not a smaller surface?

Martin Reynolds Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Comes down to pressure over area then less area more pressure i agree with 'less area = more pressure' but surely 'larger area = more friction'? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yea, agree, but there's gotta to be a balance. Monty pads seemed good years ago, orange ones. X hydra or some thing i agree with 'less area = more pressure' but surely 'larger area = more friction'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 i agree with 'less area = more pressure' but surely 'larger area = more friction'? Not this again...Surface has nothing to do with friction,it´s about pressure and coefficient of friction only,no surface in this equation .

dave33 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 So the surface RA has nothing to do with friction? Wonder why I grind my rims then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostrider88 Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Might have something to do with the coefficient of friction I guess? But I leave this question for someone more at home at physics.Even though I´m sure they are tired from saying the same thing over and over again...

bing Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) have got a set of these from tartys. put them on today, very loud and good bite. full review coming soon. and in reference to the above remarks, the pad size is quite similar to lgms, these just have a stiff backing plate, so should be a vast improvement over the likes of heatsink yellows or onzas etc in terms of stiffness, without shelling out for Cnc backings. these are only £12 Edited July 13, 2012 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nannerman Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 I hopped on a bike set up with these, without a grind, from NWtrials. I didn't get much time on them, but they felt pretty good. They are a softer compound, so they might wear through pretty fast if you ran a grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not this again...Surface has nothing to do with friction,it´s about pressure and coefficient of friction only,no surface in this equation . Thats just stupid.. So you meen that a pad with the size of a pinhead brakes just as well as a normal trials pad if the compound is the same? The friction will change when the surface is smaller, due to higher pressure per cm^2 (or whatever measurment you would use) As mentioned in this thread before, its a balance.

Skorp Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction Ah well, you allready said that pressure is a part of the eqation. The pressure will be higher when the surface is smaller. Its that easy. We learned this in 3rd grade or somthing. If a woman walks over a field with high heels, the heels will go down into the ground. But an elephant can walk over the field easily. This meens: Smaller surface = higher pressure.
