What Brake Pads Are You Running

[N.Wood]

Recently bought some Coustellier pads from Sam, and have fitted them but thats as far as i got 'til my chain snapped.

All i know is that they make the loudest noise i've heard :P

That's on a harshly ground Ronnie.

On a side note, which Heatsink pads are designed for a smooth, un-ground rim?

Tis for a friend :)

Ta brah, Woodford.

I'm running ZOO! pads atm but I think I'll go for Plazzie CRMs or these new J!Z ones next as they look and ,from what I've seen on Dan's bike, are good.

I have Coust pads which are nice, but I think they'd be better if they were longer. Because they are only tiny, they roll in your magura and it feels weird at the lever sometimes. (If you have them just lock the back brake on and rock back and forth and you'll see/feel what I mean.)

Being different, i have one koxx bloxx brown and one plaz CRM on harsh grind. Seems to work amazingly.

I recommend plazmatic crm's for sure.

Koxx browns are v good too but i find them a little too hard for my liking.

Plazmatics aspire nothing but confidence :shifty:

[PaRtZ]

Although Im not happy with them, standard reds (Y) Work the same as standard everything else IMO :)

[Chris Cook]

I am using magura pads on a sun ditchwitch rim very crap but my blue rimjams ripped of on it before.

Soon to be plazzes though (Y)

[The Foamoi Refresher]

plazmatic CRV's

rimjam greens and i'm waiting for them to fall apart like the reds and blues did...

the blue ones peeled off part way and snapped the backing clean in two!!!

they grip really well and the pad wear is real slow, just a shame they dont stay together

[Dai the Socket]

I'm running Honig Proto's.

Put it this way.

I'm going riding and I can't wait - just to love my brake hehe. They're awesome.

heatsink white vee's :angry: gonna be running konigs next week too on a smooth rim

[Hobnobs]

Hang on, Honigs? Are these different to Konigs? I loved my konigs, but wear rate was a bit :angry:

[nb88]

Zoo's on a clean rim with a bit of tar. But i hate the stuff so im gonna get plazzies and grind soon.

[Matthews]

Im using zoo at the moment but they are wearing down FAST

Roll on V!Z pads

Thats exactly what happened to the last of my rimjam blues (the first one just peeled off the backing very soon after I bought them).

Did you get yours replaced?

I emailed chris@rimjam.com ages ago but didnt get a reply, dunno if he got it but I emailed him again earlier.

[roozor]

Where can you buy koxx browns online? Might have to give them a go

[george_bush]

I use rimjam blues and they haven't fallen apart, and they are really good.

You can get koxx pads from cleanbikes

failing that bike dock should sell them.

Thanks Sam.
