Danny00135 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I used one with a heatsink yellow out of desperation on a grind.. And it wore down shockingly quick, wouldn't advise using them with a grind, just buy more cousts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlly21 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Ride the bike and try them? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Aye but Andy didn't want to stick a devilish grind on it and realise what Dan said! Cousts sounds like a shout. Not really wanting to spend money thoughhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 i had red and the white ones when i bought a echo tr rim brake and both wore down in like 1 ride with a fresh grinded rim didnt use them on a smooth rim so they maybe be ok on a smooth rim?

FamilyBiker Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) echo pads+very very light(in best case dead) grind with a tiny bit of tar=win!!! on a smooth rim they didnt hold well in my setup fresh grind and you wont hear the echo of your brakes honk before theyre gone lol Edited May 31, 2013 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 in general youre both right,i wouldnt grind my rims to contaminate them with tar right after,but when my grinds wear down i tend to avoid grinding for a few weeks by putting tar on the rim. it was just the situation in which i had echo pads on,then i reground my rim and recognized it ate the pads alive making more sense now,nigglers? :wink2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunt man t Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 to be honest i use tar ive got a keg of it but hes after info on how the pads perform and you cant say how they do if you used tar on them lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 yeah,in this context it was kind of an incomplete answer lol. on a light,nearly dead grind,they had little bite and no hold until i used tar,that should answer the question. how should a medium hard pad perform on smooth rims if it sucks on a grind? or am i wrong?

stunt man t Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 i think weve came up with the answer... buy some different pads lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 I concluded correctly in the first post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Gonna pop them on the front and see how they fair on a dead grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
