Tartridge Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 - Instantly work better than my Koxx pads (fully bedded in) without bedding in (by 'better' I mean more bite and lock). I had some Plaz a while ago too, and didnt get on with them at all - were worse than the Koxx. This is on a 47mm Try-All rim btw - super soft cheeseuminium! - Make a funky noise, haha. - Fairly 'squishy', like Plaz pads. - Good value at £16 posted (IMO, compared to up to £20 for Koxx) - Lots of material on them (10mm) so should last a wee while. Will say more when ive done a nice new grind and let them bed in :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossi Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Thanks for the review Ad. I've pre-ordered mine a while back, just waiting for them now. Which will still be a while. :lol: Rossi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannytrials Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Ah to hell with it I'm going to order some now, I'm sure my monty pads will last me for a wee bit longer. They look alot better quality on that picture, perhaps they should think abour using it on the coust site. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiteravenks Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 like I said before- best trials brake pad I have ever tried... and I have tried pretty much everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsRider Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 does it work well with out a grind? yes, I am well aware that grinds are where it's at, but ideally I'd like a pad that doesn't require grinding or any modification for it to work well. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteboy Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 so are you runing them on a clean rim at the moment? and are they beeter than koxx bloxx on a clean rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Havent tried them on a 'clean' rim, since I use a grind. Id imagine they work well though. A good pad is a good pad, whatever your rim has or doesnt have on it (in my experience). The grind I have at the moment is shagged, so I need to re-do it, plus theres a few bits of manky tar/dust mixture on the rim from trying to get my Koxx pads to work.

george_seamons Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Any ideas if a vee brake version is being considered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteboy Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 so you think they probably would be beeter than koxx bloxx on a clean rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartridge Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 George - Very unlikely, seeing as they use proper brakes ( :( ) Tom - I don't know, but you have a Koxx, so you should grind you rim anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything said would be specualation. However, a good pad should not need any "additives" to make it work, they just make it work more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like Janson's vee adaptors could prove to be a very big hit then, if they go into production, seeing as the majority of decent Magura pads don't come in vee brake form :P (And my brake is proper, you cheeky bitch! :( ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 They look good liking the colour. I will invest in some for the back brake when I have one :( . If they are better than koxx and a bit cheaper then they must be worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Can we still pre-order off the Coustellier web site? I would like to try them out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said thats it more standard than anything. Comp riders have used them for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) does anybody no when they will actually be out? I am thinking of ordering some tonight, but the website says 2weeks, which is the same as it said when I first heard about them, which was probally about a month ago. :badger: :lol: EDIT: typo Edited May 7, 2004 by fairy elephants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-399 Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 when would they be sending them out and will the price go up after they have them in (not pre-order) because I might wait till they have been tried more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 (edited) I know you wont know yet, but if using a grind, will they wear really fast? I use koxx pads with a grind and they don't seem to wear at all. although I isn't that impressed with them really wray Edited May 7, 2004 by Merlin man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 how do people know they won't rip off the backing? why are they green? does that make them work better? :lol: Are they better because they have a magura backing? Does the glue they are stuck on with come from pluto or the moon? Did superman make the glue, possibly? Will there will be more bite rather than modu cos of the length? Are they designed for tar on a rim? Will they work with a grind? Do silver rims dent easier than cd or ceramic. how big is your willy. These are all fundamental quesions which need to be taken seriously. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deagledaddy Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Phil your silly :lol: And its massive :( One thing is though phil how many pads have you destroyed then using a grind? All ive broken is a clear pad as I had far far too mcuh tar on't rim and it basically was ripped off as it stuck to the quim, grinds don't make pads 'stick' imo The glue is alegidly from Youranus actually :( Edit: Uranus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
