nb88 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Hey all......i need some new pads for my hope mini disc - what would you recommend? I looked on CRC and for the hope pads theres sintered and composite pads - which one are the ones supplied with the disc brake? Cheers. Noz.

Siders77 Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I've never used them but i've heard that the EBC Reds are quite good (N) They could be worth a try :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watson© Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 (edited) Get some EBC Red's... there beastly... grip like a bitch, I had them when I had my Mini :thumbsup: Hmmmmm... that reminds me, I need to sell that brake, will re-bleed etc etc then sell it (N) Edit: Link to the pads Wiggle :angry: Watson Edited May 25, 2005 by Biker_Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Cheers guys, found some for £13. I've been looking and most reviews say they wear down fast though (but obviously for DH, XC etc.) - how long should i expect them to lost for trials? Need to replace my hope disc pads as they got contaminated and i burned them on the hob for a little too long... :angry: so the compound came off the backing. Nozman.

Watson© Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 They'll last ages... well worth the money mate... as us being trials riders don't drag the brake loads, we usually just lock the brake... so don't worry they last long :angry: Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HargrovesToby Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 i looked on wiggle and they didnt have EBC reds for my mini, its not the mini mono, its the normal mini. can you get the reds somewhere else or am i going to have to get the green ones? cheers, Toby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rathergoodpie Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 green ones are fine, and last longer. Ive heard bad things from prawn about the red's glazing easily. Anyone using my mono mini knows its ridiculously bitey. go for greens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Dunno whether to get reds or greens now :turned: . Greens are cheaper and last longer, and i do quite a lot of front wheel rolling moves so maybe theyre best... Need to order 'em today too nozman.

ScotchDave Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 :S Go for greens. :turned: Better value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Cheers, ill go for greens then :S . Doesnt need to be that powerful anyway as i have a 185 mini on my mod :turned: . thanks for the help :D nozman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Ordered them.......and then looked on some reviews and theyre all a bit shoddy :) . Some say the compound crushes quite easily meaning no brake....and they dont grip at all. Are they definately ok for trials? how long have you had them on your disc?
