_Owen. Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 hi, i am just about to purchase some new pads and wandering if you guys have used any of these pads and your verdicts on them. i am on a very tight budget so it is either onza citrus or Monty 219XH. i run a mod with a very light gring and i use a bit of tar. if you dont know the pads here is the tarty link http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2096http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Neither. Koxx bloxx are the way forwards in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wright Pads Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Tom which then as Koxx is no more just Koxx blocks as it use too be, the battry french men have a mass of colors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Of the two, i'd be going for 35mm monty pads.But coust's are where it's at really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffacakes Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Brown's. They work nicely what ever the weather and last about a year+. They could do with a bit more biteBlue's are a bit softer than browns and dont last as long but they have more bite and work pretty well in the wet.Go for browns, I have them front and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted October 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 thanks for all your fast replys. but i cannot afford koxx or and other expensive pads at the monent. i am on a very tight budget so the montys or the onzas are all i can afford.

A!! Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Brown's. They work nicely what ever the weather and last about a year+. They could do with a bit more bite Blue's are a bit softer than browns and dont last as long but they have more bite and work pretty well in the wet. Go for browns, I have them front and back Ye i would say the browns as well, the last two pair of pads i have used have been these. They work awesome in any weather and give a good stopping power. If you enjoy having loud brakes as well (as i know some do) they are pretty loud. Last couple of days i have used them in wet weather and can't notice much different when they are in the wet and dry, so it's all good. I have cut grooves out in an old pair to see if that helps when i run them in wet weather, so i will probably be putting them on soon.

cruiserweight14 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Did these people even read your first post, iv got onzas on a light grind good pads wear fast though had mine nearly 2 months got about 3mm left of the groove very good stopping power.

Jaffacakes Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Im going to take a stab into the dark and say that was aimed at me I read his post anywhoo. I think monty's suck and I havn't used Onza's so can't really comment on them. IMO koxx bloxx are the best pad's so why not sugest them?
