Burton Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 My Koxx were okay i guess! but I didnt have them that long. I dont ride when its wet, cause it normally cold/windy. But thats me. I dont. Just when it rains, and you shettle, you don't have to clean your rim. Or if you go through a puddle, your brake is still gonna work, no matter what. Works in snow as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 You lot should all run zoo pads on a harsh grind. Where ever you go there's an astro-turf path behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a ronnie I need all the sidewall I can get, or it dents/folds, as you know! I will grind more often when I get my new rim.

munkee Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Buy some plaz pads, grind your rim. Set the pads up square once. Leave them alone. Then they will work and last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Had mine for about 6 months, used about half, but they appear to have stopped wearing, without a loss in braking..i love mine:)lee you have a set of spanish flies, not crvs!anyway, ive been through 2 pairs of crvs in 2 years, they were on 2 seperate bikes until about 6 months ago, of which ive used them up and then got myself some cousts-which is impressivecousts really do piss over them so far in terms of power and all weather hold, but i miss the quietness of my crvs and they did hold very well, just not as nicely as the cousts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 CRM's are beasty.Mine lasted me bloody ages, wore down fast for about an hour, then lasted me about 6 months after that.Koxx browns are still the daddies though (mine lasted year an a half on a grind ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kearns Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 All of you need zoo pads on a smooth rim with tar, you couldnt ask for a better brake, apart from coust pads in cnc backings on a sharp grind.Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 What grind you running them on? Do Yours have much "sqeeze" to them?Cheers !Am running a light grind fairly sharp and new. Squeeze? Spongy? Certainly not They feel harder than the blue pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Am running a light grind fairly sharp and new. Squeeze? Spongy? Certainly not They feel harder than the blue pads.Cool cheers fella! Just I have the on a uber light/dead grind, there are really good, But once they stop the wheel, I can pull them back to the lever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 CRMs don't work too well on a fresh, harsh grind i found. Do a really light skim over a smooth rim, and they'll work beasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
