Ash-Kennard Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Not sure If I've missed something but I just can't work out how the new heatsink pads/backings will fit onto the magura. I'm wondering this because on most pads It Is tiny bits of plastic which clip around the little knobby thing on the caliper to keep the pad on, but because they are metal will this still work? Can someone clear this up please. Thanks, ash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the metal is cut out so it looks like this from above >o<. so as you push it on, the 'arrows' open up the hole, then clamp back on to hold on sercurely. Well, i think :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted October 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Nah Tom, they are bringing out new backings, metal ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 I assume the backings will have an o-ring, that acts like the clips on plastic backings. Like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 If that's the case then I probably wont use them. I had enough trouble with my Coustellier pads and they were the same as those backings. :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 There is a rather important improvement that the o-ring based "clip" shown above in that CNCed backing has over the Coust's use of an o-ring for their backings. The Coust o-ring is only held in by glue to stop you pulling it out of the pad rear, whilst the CNCed backing shown has a solid stop of Alu for peace of mind :$ I bought some Coust pads to have a look at, and this is what I found after placing the brand new pads onto the cylinder and taking it off again a minute later :lol: Is this the problem you had with the Coust backings Lee? Steve If that's the case then I probably wont use them. I had enough trouble with my Coustellier pads and they were the same as those backings.

Siders77 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 Yeah, that's exactly what happened. (N) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 i can almost assure you there will be no problems with the heatsink backings mounting system. It is secure, and I have been using the same design on my pads (now going to be branded heatsink) with no problems at all.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
