Synergy Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i know you said those two but plazmatic crms ar emeant to be ace on a light grind, i aint sure on others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I REALY like my read compund in my CNC pads, i am currently running it on a PROPERLY dead grind on a DX32 in my ashton, they hold sooooooo well........On the bike at the moment the power is a little different than when i had them on the control, on the control they were BITEY BITEY uber loud pads, on the ashton they are not so bitey, they have a little modulation (which on the ashton is nice ) but when the brake is needed they hold SOOOO well, they are also currently perfectly silent, which i am loving..........So yeh, in my oppinion go for the reds, they are also cheaper Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deonn h Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 i know you said those two but plazmatic crms ar emeant to be ace on a light grind, i aint sure on others.I run plaz now.They are good but what i`ve found is that they slip abit , they make an awsem noise though.Might be cause of my flexy frame and bolts but that will be sorted with cnced mounts backings and a fresh bleed.

Bigman Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I forgot to mention one VERY important thing about the reds.....Where plaz pads are SHOCKING in the wet, the heatsink red pads are PHENOMINAL they are realy realy good in the wet!!!!!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deonn h Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 There was a thing on the heatsink which showed you the best ways of sticking the rubber onto the backings.I carnt find it now anyone know where it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technical Tom Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 In my CNC'ed backings at the moment i am running 1 plaz and 1 coust pad, my brake squeeks realllllllly loud and holds really well and it worked good in the wet too. if you are things of putting plaz material in it's simple all you do it get the out of the backings and cut the down slightly and then they fit in with abit of super glue. I would also think that 1 Koxx bloxx green and 1 coust work work maybe even better, experiment Sorry if i have woffeled on )Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 my heatsink blues are imense on a light deadish grind, get some there awsome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshywa Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The only time my reds work is in the wet go for coust unless you plan on a fresh grind. I've actual started putting light grinds on my koxx rim just to get them to work with out tar but that only lasts an hour or two the its back to tar cousts on the other hand seem to be amazing on a smooth rim so they'd probably get my vote.The only positives i've found with the reds are they feel so solid and (when not using tar) are silent as a baby, if you want to use tar go for it but i won't be getting red re-fills.joshywa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I would also think that 1 Koxx bloxx green and 1 coust work work maybe even better, No really. Really, it's shit. Properly, turd. I put my other Koxx green on and my brake became uber, and has remained uber. Seriously, Koxx greens don't f**k around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, Koxx greens don't f**k around I heard that! I'm on my 3'rd pair of koxx greens now, and i love them, such good hold and amazing performance in both the wet and the dry. Get them!

Ian :O:O:O:O:O:O:O That's person #3 who's actually realised how cunting awesome Koxx greens are... I'm still on my first pair, bought at the bike show last year (Used some 'sink blues, Konigs, something else and something else since then, but they've been on for at least 6 months in total, and are half-way worn) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I thought steve has stopped selling pads to us small people, my cnc red pads have been nice but have worn too quickly and don't really offer that much in terms of bite compared to my heatsink blues. Might try cousts but quite tempted to mix and match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 my heatsink blues are imense on a light deadish grind, get some there awsome. Conor your brakes allways slipping, it may make a nice loud noise but it don't hold very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I seem to have problems with every pad: plaz, koxx browns just dont seem to hold on anything...Ive been told my grinder is shit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I've got heatsink reds in CNC Vee backings (yeah, I know but it's the same pad material, right?). They seem awesome on a smooth rim, but I've only ridden 'em in the rain once, and the rim was well clean then. They seemed fine at the time, but yet to see what they're like on a well-ridden rim in the wet.I've just whacked some on my stock which has a very light dead grind on the front, will advise after a few days. They seem good new, but as well all know that don't mean shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I haven't got on to well with my heatsink reds/cnc backings, I'm running a ronnie and the pads wear down the grind in about 3 days and then don't work particularly well after that, I also found that the managed to collect a lot of dirt/dust and then when i ride in the rain in all washes onto the rim making the brake even worse,Majic pads next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
