Ride or die Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) Well i tried making some a couple of hours ago didnt go too well . when i made them i thought they would be good i called them "Dave-Pads" as my first name . i was about to take my wheel off and they fell apart :$ So the point of this topic is...Have you ever made some pads and they worked out ok?CheersDave Edited April 27, 2006 by Ride or die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm all for inventiveness and entreprenurial spirit , but sooner or later , someone's gonna get hurt / killed by poorly bonded self made pads . As suggested above , good pads are becoming increasingly cheap and offer reliable stopping power at little cost to wallet and skull .

MikeCottTrials Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 i wouldnt even consider making my own when im getting ready to go for something that i am scared of the last thing i want to worried about is whether the brake pad will hold together theres no point in hurting yourself badly for the sake of £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
