Hobnobs Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 I was wondering if anyone knew if the new heatsink V pads would be able to run on a bmx brake, as a mate of mine would like to try some decent pads. I think bongo runs crv's on his evolver brake, so i thought it might work, but would like to check before he spends money. As i have never used v brakes i dont know how the pads are secured, so if anyone knows whether they will work on the crappy u style brakes it would be greatly helpfull. Cheers, Fil.

Mark W Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Someone here also wants to run them, and I can't see any reason they wouldn't fit seeing as the post mounting is the same as all other BMX pads (unless you run an AD990)?
