Teaming Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I was out riding earlier and I was practicing the double bounce to front wheel techinque on a smallish wall. On my third attempt I landed on the front wheel and when I pulled the lever I felt it lock for a second then when I was up in mid-air with my back wheel not quite up to the edge of the wall, the brake completely fell out underneath me and the front wheel went skiding :P Luckily the wall wasn't that big and I just landed on my feet. I took a look at my front brake and saw that half the plazmatic pad had been ripped off ^_^ :P Has anyone else found they do this? I've not heard of them splitting at least.

Teaming Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Ermm......I think they must of had at least 6 months of use. They are pretty worn down anyway. I've gone back good old koolstops for the time being. I don't want anything super powered anyways. <_< Jackery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyb Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 (edited) They seem to be happening to a few diferent pad's at the moment like I heard the heatsink blue's did this but my mate run's them and they are fine for him it might just be a few bad pad's. My plaz pads are perfect and there is no sign's of braking or anything going on with the backing's or the pad material. I heard that there is a new material on plaz pad's which i have been told mine are is this true or have i got mixed up along the way <_< cheers rickyb Edited October 28, 2005 by rickyb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
