Mr Motivator Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 why not?It looks silly on a bmx, and it's not really neccasary. You shouldn't need a brake at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 But they certainly are damn useful Araya RBJ1 rims (aka the Himiko) are f**king aaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaazzzzzzzziiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnngggggggggggg. www.alansbmx.com and www.pijin.co.uk (<- Mark's choice ) are two places I can think of who stock them, and they're pretty fan-f**king-tastic.Getting a decent brake with a black rim is super hard unless you're one of the lucky people who seem to be able to buy cheap completes and have some sort of miraculously powerful back brake.From my experience, Plaz CRM pads work super well for BMX's. Good modulation and good overall power. Good. Anyhoo, Ben's Koolstop salmon pads (you can get BMX-specific ones which I believe come as standard on the mad expensive Fly brakes, which should give you an idea of their rad-ness) appear to work really well for him, so I guess you could try those too.

Janson Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I had CRV on a black rim. It was as loud as my trials brake is now, it was horrible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
