ding_dong Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) i have just got myself some plazmatic rubber disk brake pads, and oh my god there emence, well if you like a brake that has uber lock and no modulation, they also have a nice sqeek to them, and atm are peforming better than my rear magura with cnc coust pads!!i would even trust this brake on the rear of my bike and bearing in mind i have had nothing but trouble and a shite brake all the time that i have had it and now its finaly good.i purchased these pads from ebay, the ones i have are for a magura louise but they are available for other modles and makes, they cost me £10 and they are worth every pennie.i strongly sugest you get some if you disk brake is lacking power.EDIT: should this of gone in the pad review topic?

smelly joe Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 They sound awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMunn Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Are you using them on a standard rotor ? If you are i'm pretty sure the effect would be like grating cheese, your supposed to run a solid alu rotor with them, if you are then cool. If not then ouch.

ding_dong Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) they are good in the wet, not as good but are still ace. and i am using them on my magura louise standard rotor and i have used them all day and no sighn of the "cheese grator" effect, supose mine could be ok as there is not many holes, but i imagine that with something like a hope rotor they would get eaten.

David Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) How wet have you got them? They dont do anything in the rain...IMO.Maybe to do with you not using the plaz rotor with them... Edited April 21, 2006 by David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ding_dong Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 does riding in the rain count as getting them wet enough? i imagine that the water would sit on the solid rotor, where as on one with holes, the water would got through them?they worked pritty well in the rain for me although i have only had them a day so they may get better (not much room for them to improve imo) or they may get worse, only time will tell.david, are you using them?, if you are you using them on the solid rotor?, if you are where did you get it from? and with what brake?

loffa Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I used mine on a standard Magura rotor for about 2 months and I had no issues with pads wearing down or anything. They were awesome in the dry (though the sound that they make is horrible) But as soon as they got wet I had no front brake atall. So I just got an Avid and I'm happy with it, though I much prefered the lever feel of a Louise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I wonder what'd happen if you went down a hill at 30mph and wanted to stop. I wonder.So when you comming to Whitby so we can ride down the slopes onto the seawall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
