Andy Kay Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 What are the black magura pads for ie, tar or gring or smooth or not nescessarily what they're for just what they work best with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Al Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Sadly, Magura black pads are best used for throwing at people in the cinema!As a brake pad, they are about as much use as using a strawberry lace as a cable for an avid BB7.Unless of course your name is Rowan Johns, and you missed the bit where we were all told 'you need GOOD back brakes'Really though, they dont work overly well. You get a load of modulation with them, and they can be OK for a front brake, but generally, Id advise you keep clear of them!If you must use them, avoid using them on a grind, they just turn to dust!They will be OK with copious amounts of tar, although any pad will work with tar really!Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 wooden pads work better.i ran kool stops for over a year so i can complain about bad braking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biff... Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well they aint trials specific there for xc bikes etc so obviously there not designed for ground rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Maguras are really designed for MTBing. And magura blacks would be ok for MTBing i supose.But no good for trials.If you really want some sort of brake out of them, a shag load of tar will be needed.

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 they work amazingly well with ceramic rims though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Jones Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 they work amazingly well with ceramic rims thoughThey do indeed, and VERY well on any grind. They are an all-round purpose compound, i ran them on my front maggy for years! Loads of modulation (stoppies rule) and just enough lock-up when you need it!J.
