Token Posted September 30, 2006 Report Share Posted September 30, 2006 Pads: Onza CitrusTime used: 3 weeks I think Rim used: Echo '06Grind: Yeh medium/lightBrake used: Magura 2003. Water bleed, RB booster. Standard leverWhat is your opinion of a working brake: One that stops the wheel dead. And never slips.How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Better than standard pads but dont have anything on Cousts. On par with Plaz's but have a slightly shorter life.Review:Squeezed them in the cylinders, rode down to where I ride (down a hill) done about 2 mins of riding then checked down to look at the pads.Shock, Horror! the right pad had been eaten by the grind and I'd lost about 1.5mm of pad from one end of it making it touch the rim unevenly. Since then (3 weeks) they've worn down about 2-3mm and dont seem to be wearing down anymore. Guess they've bedded in As for performance, they have a really nice bite but have slipped once or twice. I feel pretty confident using them and for 11GBP guess you cant ask for much more.Probally wouldn't buy them again although the left pad seems to be fine I might of been unlucky with the right.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Pads: Koxx RedsTime used: around 2 monthsBrake used: Maggy 05 with water bleedRim used: Echo 2006Grind, yeah, nearly smooth, unfresh/deadTar: haha, no.What is your opinion of a working brake: Bites straight away, and doesnt slip the slightest, and has a very nice loud bite.How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Probably the best pads iv used, apart from HS blues, but they wore down too quick!Review: I fitted them, and squared them up on the rim totally perfect. the brake was amazing and really loud and didnt slip the slightest, and then i got a puncture, and had to take wheel out of frame to fit a new tube. this made my brake go crap All i had to do was get each pad and just "touch" them on my grinder, to make the surface of the pad shiny, and them my brake was better than ever! Its still amazing and hasnt wore down much at all really, around 2mm max! in 2 months!But sayign that, i havnt ridding atall for 3 weeks, intill yesterday...All in all, best pads iv used IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Pads: heatsink snowys:Time used: month/month 1/2Brake used: old maggie with oil bleedRim used: koxxGrind: was harsh, just left itTar: no.What is your opinion of a working brake: Bites straight away, and doesnt slip the slightest, and has a very nice loud bite.How do they compare to previous pads you have used: much betterReview: fitted them, had to be set up wonky due to them being so damn fat, soo much material, it was just stupid. when they wore down abit, i set them up properly, and oh my god, the best brake ver, super loud, super bitey, super hold. just plain immense. let the grind wear flat now still loads of bite and noise, but can be modulated now too. not too good in the wet, still work well, but they go silent, but that could have been due to the flat grind and the mud/shit.all in all, awesome pads. very pleased, and they didnt cost me a penny, thanks tom Edited October 7, 2006 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Used on front.Pads: heatsink snowysTime used:1 rideRim used:echo 06Grind: NoCeraminc: NoBrake used: MaguraHow do they compare to previous pads you have used:Best ive used on front.Review:soon as i put them on they were mint stopped u dead had a nice noise aswell.If you like a front maggie with a bit of noise which dosent slip on a smooth rim then get these!p.s i was using these pads on backwards mount forks which does help with the lock on brake.

munkee Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Used on front.p.s i was using these pads on backwards mount forks which does help with the lock on brake. Yes it does, because the braking causes the forks to twist inwards towards the rim = increased pressure whilst braking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_Gibson Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Zoo pads on a LIGHT grind, must be VERY light though, unless the pads will die in about 2 hours. Heatsink's snowys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
