trialsinchris Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Hi i have bought a shimano deore lx back brake a while back now and i was wondering which brake blocks would be the best for trials like softest/stickiest, you all ride trials you know what i mean. i just want the grip so it stops rolling as much cos it scares me. cheers.

Ross_uk Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 im not quite sure of v pads most people say tht i think planet x's sticky pads are good, but im pretty sure a good bit of tar will improve tht slipping problem, only a quick fix, do you own a maggy???? if so i would prob reckomend running it with some great pads heatsink blues , or any from the koxx bloxx range.... sorry if i didnt help much but i only ran vees when i had my old bike and i rode xc, but my friends had recommended running those planet x pads, soo i guess they must be prtty good. sorry for not being a great help!!!!!! heres some plaz v's should be quite good, http://biketrials.com/review/Product_Revie...s/V-Brake_Pads/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott13 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Why not try some zoo pads they seem good, but dont seem to work in rain as my cousin has some :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsinchris Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 tried rim tar once felt good to ride with but then it rained and sorta melted the tar dont know how but it was like oil then and despite cleaning brake blocks and rim about ten times it wouldent come off brake blocks thats what led to new brake. have you tried rim tar that dont melt in rain if so where you get it from and how much. cheers and thanks for link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The tar doesnt "melt" it just goes all slippy when it gets wet, tar isnt meant to be used in the rain/wet. just get some good pads, like the heatsink V-pads, they are meant to be awsome!
