wayneone Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Are these realy that bad? i run smooth rims at the moment with tar/hairspray. I was just wondering if they are realy that bad as i can pick up a pair from a local shop for £2.99, I was thinking of having them as reserves.

Iv never actually heard of them Why not just buy some good pads that you can rely on, like koxx reds... on a smooth rim, they should be awsome!

wayneone Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Oh im running Zoo! pads(rear) and heatsink blue(front) at the moment just thought becuase there so cheap i could use them as spares. As for the koxx boxx i was thinking koxx yellow smooth rims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Absolutly crap pads, there actually standard black magura pads which Planet X distributed and named them "sticky pads". I know this because my mate used to work at planet x factory. Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Oh right steer clear then. Isnt that illegal of planetX's part? effectivly arnt they stealing maguras pads and calling them there own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 They might have got rights from magura? Yeah, maybe the yellows then, which ever are the softest, i dont have a clue lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Im pretty sure they are not maggie black pads, as i remember when they came out some guys i rode with got some and found them ok, but with an absolutely shocking wear rate.

MrMonkey Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Get them as spares, imagine, you go out riding, all of a sudden a pad rips out of it's backing. YOU HAVE SPARE PADS, so you can whack em on, they might be shit but at least you ain't going home early :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy elephants Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 They were around when kool stop's were THE pad for trials because of its emmense grip :) Old Skool! :S they will be ok for spares, but dont expect anything spectacular :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, what happens if he has a mega harsh grind and tar, then slams on his brake and carrys on pedalling with man beast legs, somethings gonna break.

Burton Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 they wasnt standard Black Magura materail, silly Biff :S Softer compound, ripped out of backings easily, when used with tar, probably the same with a grind.
