T-OM Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think that if you use the search you will find that there are many brake pad topics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialsbikenut Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Hi if i was you I would definitely go for some Heatsink Snowys, there great in the dry with a medium grind,and work well in the wet but without as much of a squeak, well worth the money at £14 SNOWYS, i am on my second pair of pads now and there awsome hope I helped Trialsbikenut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8grumble Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 hey, i had a pair of snowys... i though they lacked the power of the other heatsink pads. i think you should go for koxx browns or heatsink red or blue? there all great pads. graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parr22czar Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i liked the koxx brown. pads do they still make em tarty doesnt seem to sell them any more any, one know if they still being made/sold???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-onza-rider- Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 i have read a few topics on brake pads and a lot of people have said that the yellow plasmatic crm pads are very good.they work well in the wet, last for ages and work well with ground rims.also, if you are on a bit of a tight budget you should try onza citrus pads, i have them at the moment(looking to get new ones at christmas) and they have lasted me absolutely ages!in the dry, they work really well for me, and i dont even use tar or have a grind, but i must say if you have the money i wouldnt bother with them, just get a set of plasmatics alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylerlovesalex Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 (edited) Hi James. For the try-all rim id use plaz pads for sure. Great bite, noise and last long. Or as others had said take the risk and try the onza citrus. I had a go on someone's bike who was using them and to be honest they where very nice. Super loud and held(Even though his brake went all the way back to the bar and was set-up horridly sorry ) So yes. Hope this comes into good use.Sorry for the double post :$ Edited November 18, 2006 by Xx-OnZa-xX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
