liam-pantera Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 hi everyone i felt like bring bac the old subject of wich coust pads do u prefer?.for those that may not no coustpads came in to sizes the old 35 mil pads and the new heatsnik 50 mils.Ive tried out both kinds and i have differnt opinions about both sets my first impresion about the 35 mil pads are thaat they sound imense but a big downside is that the backings were not very reliable,if the plastic rings didnt fall out then the backings would snap for some reason.The 35 mil pads gripped quite well i could never roll mine on a harsh grind and life wise they lasted ages.I found with the 50 mil pads they didnt quite sound the same as the 35 mils,and also they seemed to ware down alot more but sayn that they held about the best ive ever had a brake.Now heatsink deal in the coustpads they are available in 2 options i found that the metal backings made alot of difference as they rocked alot less than the power pad backings.So after all that and 3 sets later i prefer the smaller coustpads.wich ones do you prefer and has anyone seen anythin of the red coust or no were to get the (better) and smaller coust.peice..... liam eyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I personaly prefer the 50mm ones becuse they come in powerpad backings, which seems to be the most relible. There shouldn't be any braking power difference, but the 35mm are much easier to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
