ding_dong Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 (edited) I was thinking that some sort of curved brake pads would be good?I believe this as the rim is curved so it would make sence to have curved pads, the same as the rim?I am aware that some/all vee brake pads do curve a little.I am not sure if this would be posible to do, without remaking magura cylinders(thats why im not going to try ), its just a posible idea, im not too sure if it would work but what do you think??IF any company does start makings these type of pads(don't think they will) could i please recieve 50% of the profit made and 20% equity(sp?) in the business Edited February 4, 2006 by ding_dong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nafan Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Nice idea dude, but I really don't think there's much point making curved pads for maggies as they're quite small, and I REALLY don't think that magura would give you 50% of their profits, even for five minutes!!!Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 If you can set up pads square to the rim, it wouldn't really make a difference would it?I've thought about it before though.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 just remember if you are doing curve, it will be different for mod and stock, due to wheel size differences. (6") (average cock size ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 There needs to be a reason for doing it really. i cant see one good idea though i guess, small things like this need to be picked on to get things changing constantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ding_dong Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I see what you are saying will, oh and btw the profit thing was a joke, but if they want to then thats fine by me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swize Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 just remember if you are doing curve, it will be different for mod and stock, due to wheel size differences. So why could I take brake pads off my 26" mtb and but them on my bmx ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 So why could I take brake pads off my 26" mtb and but them on my bmx ?If we are going to get picky about it, it's because the differance is negligable.Really it's cos it doesn't make a big differance.

PaRtZ Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 What if, instead of having a normal 3 cm (?) pad, have a 10 cm curved one Awesome stopping power on such a beast Yes i am taking the michael btw.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 So why could I take brake pads off my 26" mtb and but them on my bmx ?depends how long the pad is though. like the guy downstairs says. What if, instead of having a normal 3 cm (?) pad, have a 10 cm curved one exactly right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) There's actuly no real benifit of doing it. And alot of dissadvantages such as them being harder to make. So long as you get the whole pad square on the rim, it wouldn't make a difference. Edited February 5, 2006 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 the heatsink v backings and also the plaz crv backings, are slightley curved. i dont actually think that it makes a difference to preformance, just looks swish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
