trials_noob Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I am looking to get some new pads for a smooth rim, as i am currently using kool stops and they're crap. My choise is between heatsink snowys, reds or blues? Has anyone used the snowys yet? I tried the search but can't find anything on the snowys!Or i could get Zoos?Which would be the best for smooth rims?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomHero Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 get the snowy's and then review them for us If not, get the heatsink reds with cnc backings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Zoo's work stupidly well on smooth rims.Just don't let them even go near a grind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lankyri Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hello mate ive had three sets of heatsink blues with power pad backings and i must say they are a nice pad to ride with apart from when you ride in the rain and then you may as well ride brakeless lol but if you want to spend a bit more than i would suggest the coust pads on a grind and you have a awesome brake (like mine ). but if you dont want a grind i would say get the zoo pads on a clean rim and maybe a bit of tar for extra noise lol but winter will be coming round fast and i wouldnt want a smooth rim in winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Once again, bringing together years of hard won brake pad expertise, we've very pleased to offer these White pads as an alternative to our very popular Blue pads. The blue's and snowy's are the same compound, differant colours, that's the impression I get from the site anyway.I'd get the snowy's, as my blue's are fantastic. I havn't used the reds, but the blue's are up there with the like's of coust and such as far as im concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biff... Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) I have heatsink red pads and honestly the best pads i have ever used and i've used most pads on the market there awsome on smooth or ground rims mine are in cnc'd backings which also makes it stiffer and provents the edges of the pads from wearing un evenly, i highly reccomend these pads to anyone.Oh and on a grind there very good in the rain aswell.

Joe Aston Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Iv got heatsink blues there the bomb. Im running a smoth rim and they bite and hold like nothing else iv ever used. If there a little pricy you could try onza citrus pads dont go near rim jams though.Hope i helped Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Another vote for zoo pads, but the coust pads that heatsink do seem very good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex.loves.boys Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Another vote for zoo pads, but the coust pads that heatsink do seem very good too. Funny, mine were shite and so was my mates.I say zoo's. or maybe plaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 please dont get the cnc'ed backing version of any of the pads. they rip the nipple off the caliper the pads attach to, and also the prong things aswell snap off. zoos without a grind, koxx blues heatsink blues, crm, coust pads are all good choice on a grind.

6ft-midget Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Zoo's work stupidly well on smooth rims.Just don't let them even go near a grind! Definitely not a grind. But if you took the time to just file all the way round the rim the pads will have tons of grip and wont wear down much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 (edited) The old plazmatic yellow pads are the best i've ever used absoloutly perfect stopping wet or dry!(Would recomend a grind though) Edited August 22, 2006 by super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
