Stan Shaw Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Ive had a set for 2/3 weeks and they are pretty much the best pad ive ever used. Wear rate seems good aswell. Also work alot better than Plaz in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max-t Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 (edited) it was stan shaw who said that and he is running a onza rim i think.max....Edit: i see he is posting now so ill leev him to it :$ Edited October 1, 2006 by max-t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Shaw Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 They are better than Plaz in the dry too, not by loads but it is hard to beat Plaz. Im running a Tryall rim (which is the same as Hog btw) with a light and sharp grind. As for smooth rims, of course they will work on smooth rims, just how good i aint sure They will definately last longer than Echo pads. Echo pads arnt really great with a grind, in terms of wear rate.Danny Butler and Marco Hosel also use the pads as far as im aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Can the material be bought alone for use with CNC backing's?If so, where from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Probs not so you'll need to boil them in waheter for 5 mins to get the glue to go soft anf pull them apart then cut them down and fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
