Todge Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I best not say too much, but from what Ive seen they look well thought out and different to whats out there currently. I believe Chris is keen to to use the same material as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wally Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Yes things do take time and its taken a long long time. I have so many different ideas and proto pads, i have tried all kinds of shapes and compounds, and i have so many moulds and machines left from trying different ideas.Im currently working on new pads. The pads which are currently shown on the site are very good, but they are just like every other pad available just a little cheaper. I would like to come up with something a little different before i start selling again, and after the problems which arose with the first backings i want to make sure they are 100% perfect before they go on sale. Thanks, Chris@rimjam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 no offence wally, but when i last used these pads (wayyyyyy back) the material was awful....are you keeping the same material or are things changing? pad backings dont really need to be worked on if you ask me, either CNC some backings OR use standard powerpad backings there is no need to change them.its the materials that need to be played around with if you ask me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 no offence wally, but when i last used these pads (wayyyyyy back) the material was awfulwhich material did you use? just there was red, blue and greenred was awesome but due to the backing design it failed to stay secured and it wore on the corners, the bues werent bad little pads either, again let down by the backingsthe red material put into some decent backings, proved to be very good for me, but after getting coust pads, im never going back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 i tried all three and all three wore away like snow when it rains.....(bad example i know) but you get where im coming from...i actually am still to find ANY pad im totally happy with. nothing has ever been perfect for me, but its each to their own. apparantly the snowies from heatsink are getting good reviews, ill let u know from tommorow for me. but atm im still searchingas are wally, steve, deng, koxx etc etcone day one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
