Dai the Socket Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Even though you don't ride anymore, Nick? I don't. I have no bike. But heatsinks own Best quality service i've ever recieved ever. Couldn't fault them, and Steve's got a great website , content, photos and research to back up his pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I don't. I have no bike. But heatsinks own Best quality service i've ever recieved ever. Couldn't fault them, and Steve's got a great website , content, photos and research to back up his pads Groovy, these heatsink reds feel pretty similar to what I expected the whites to do anyway, which makes sense if Steve says there's no performance difference. They have a similar squeak to my old monty milks, but just nowhere near as obnoxiously loud (but then I'm yet to hear anything as loud as milk pads). Gotta give 'em a bit more time to bed in yet before I give a proper review though. Only problem I've got now is that my V's are pointing out a bit more than they used to at the tops of the arms...I've never really figured out why people say they're meant to be 'vertical'. it should really affect it that much IMO. If anyone feels that they want to explain the reason, I'm all ears though Cheers for the pads and the explanation of the reds instead of whites Steve I'd get the website updated asap otherwise you'll get people questioning why they got red pads like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Great to hear your first impressions of the pads are good Jez Sorry there's a small lag getting some of the latest info on my website and not being able to get all the personal replies out via email promptly at the moment.I'm getting back on track now - picked up a new car today which is making more time since travelling is much more straight forward. I say new, but actually it's already 10 years old...2.0L Renault Laguna for less than £400 in part exchange for the Fiesta with the exploded engine The Vee arm angle is an interesting topic. With rims getting wider, and riders wanting to run top of the range Vee set-ups with CNCed backings and arms like Avid Ultimate and XTR, each element increases the distance from the boss to the braking face. For nice vertical arms for a range of set-ups, it makes alot of sense to run a 4 bolt frame and have some adjustability on the Vee boss position using suitable adapters.....Got something in the pipeline for this The Mod booster is still delayed - The CAD is sorted and thoroughly checked on various bikes, it's just a matter of cash flow and at present I have some other things that I'm prioritising.
