Burton Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Gonna buy some new pads, you have to me wich one... ← Heatsink blues on a non-grind! :) Plazmatic CRMs on a grind! :) The Heatsinks work fairly well, just that Plazmatics have more hold. They both have about the same amount of bite and sound. Theyre evenly matched if you wanted to have superb performance on any rim surface.

CurtisRider Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 my koxx browns were inf**kincredible....but thats when i ran a magura :) personally id say plaz, i use both the v brake versions of the plaz and heatsink and the plaz is far superior :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Slippy brake forever ← Errr...yes! I'm running them at the moment and mine aren't slipping :) Gonna rinse them then put my plazzies on :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Ok koxx browns do work, Im not really sure who says they dont, just bear in mind they are ment to be used on a grind. Plazzy's are very good, however please think about the fact that we are now entering wet weather riding time and plazzy's dont work in the wet. Koxx brown work very well in the wet on a grind and so I would suggest strongly the browns over anything else purely on the wet weather performance and the time of year :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawnmowerman Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Tried numerous pads and ive always gone back to my koxx browns :rolleyes:" Mine are well over a year old aswell and theyre about half worn now :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 That wasn't intended as a dig at you lol :- ← Right back at you :D Wasn't ment to be offensive :rolleyes: The older koxx browns was probably THE pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Slippy brake forever ← Somone can't set up a brake . . . Koxx browns have incredible hold, put it this way, I'm choosing to run these over Coust pads - they rule, I know the reds and yellows are even more powerful but browns got plenty of power and a good wear rate, Koxx are onto a winner with the brown compound :rolleyes: Edit: I should have read further down the thread to see people disagreeing with him already :"> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 (edited) That wasn't intended as a dig at you lol Yeah but to be fair I think he should know that plazzies dont work in the wet before he goes and buys some just before winter. I would never ever use heatsink or rim jam, so instead of just saying niether I thought I would suggest probally one of the best wet weather pads about Yeah the old ones were mint. I reckon they changed them though because people were only needing 1 set of pads a year Edited September 15, 2005 by JIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heatsink blues work the same in the wet as they do in the dry, which is pretty re-assuring :- Edited September 15, 2005 by dan_t-lite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 English? :P lol ← And if you take your eyes to the left then you will see that hes not actually english, although can spell fine, but really......did it matter :- Anway, Got heatsinks on at the mo, there good but dont work at all in the wet. By the sounds of it plazzys dont either so defo go for koxx browns!! Had them on a grind for ages now and they work imencely. Although im going to get the red koxx ones next as a mate has them and there better again, due to them being softer but still they have lasted longer than my browns :rolleyes: Koxx all the way!

Damon W Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 yepo Dan t-lite is right. :rolleyes: blue heatsinks up front on smooth rim plazzie crms on grind ont back tiz what i run, but im gonna be putting the plazzies int front and getting sum new plazzies for back, mmmmmmm plazzies front n rear :P :- :D" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Ok in the dry weather you have to go plazz all the way. BUT, as I found out last night a single drop of water, and yes I mean a SINGLE drop, on your rim and plazzies had me laying on my back. It's like they designed a pad that turns into a bar of soap when wet. I've never ridden Koxx Bloxx but from what people say get them, as winters closing in fast and you'll want a good brake.

Heatsink Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 I'm flattered to be in a poll with the Plaz pads :- The Plaz pads will naturally storm to victory here - they have been out for many years so awareness is much higher. I think the number of riders testing the blues at the moment is barely into double figures! I'd love to hear more about the question of which is the better pad. This is what helps to continually improve and can of course only be answered by the relatively few riders who have owned both. The Blues are one of the test compounds I've been testing with Tartybikes, and they have been well received by many test riders. This has been to the point where I have had more made due to interest. Testing is on going still to see whether we can better them. Your honest feedback much appreciated, also taking into account the value for money aspect. All feedback (whether on TF, by PM or email) is incredibly useful. Don't hesitate to get in contact with your opinions and experiences, or just for a chat. I've been trying to make my pads for riders, developed by riders! Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
