the_ferret Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 hi to one and all about 2months ago i bought some zoo magura pads from select bikes and they've bloody amazed me but......... on a ride yesterday one ripped clean in half out of the backing! all i need to know is can i get them replaced by zoo or someone because i'm kind of skint at the moment so cant even afford bloody brake pads! ( just a little note even though i'm using one and a half of a pad it still works so amazingly its stupid! but i don't trust it to come out of the backing now) thanks for any advice that can be given oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Glue it back in, either with Superglue, or araldite. Sorted really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 I'd suggest getting in touch with Phil, see what he says. Sounds like an overspill of release agent, causing a split line in the pad itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Ha ha, they won't last very long on a grind anyway. Why can't you glue them back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_ferret Posted July 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 i didn't have a grind or anything it was on a smooth rim! hehe i'm not a heavy rider and wasn't doing anything big either i cant glue them back because i lost half the pad somewhere but because the brake still worked nicely i didn't notice till later :blink: i don't trust using just half a pad because theres alot of stress put on and its likely to rip out of the backing thanks again oggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 (edited) Why can't you glue them back in? ← I think hes lost half of a pad, and half of it is still there, so he cant glue it in due to him not having it, I think thats what he means :blink: about 2months ago i bought some zoo magura pads from select bikes and they've bloody amazed me but......... on a ride yesterday one ripped clean in half out of the backing! Dunno if im right, but its just how i overstood it Edited July 4, 2005 by Tom Booth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
