Broomer Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 maybe some magura louise disk pads? here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Sod all those replies... ebc golds from wiggle.Ebc red pads are good but the gold sintered ones are even better.P.S. Plazzie disc pads are like the maggie pad cersions, yellow ployurethane so their crap in the wet. Also wear down pretty quick with a normal drilled rotor as they need a flat smooth rotor.

Clownbike Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks for all the replies guys!!Kris, i bought some EBC golds off bike dock and he said the green ones are geared more for trials. luckily he hadn't sent them and i told him to hold off on payment while i found a bit more out. He said the gold ones wont get hot enough and are geared towards dh??Any more replies, please don't hesitate!!CheersNeilFRIDAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Aren't the green ones organic? Well any pair of organic pads i've had have sucked majorly. And most places suggest that sintered pads should only be used if your brake came with them originally as they get so hot, which is fine in trials as we're not dragging them as we bomb down a hill at 30mph. He might have been trying to fob you off with greens as their the ones no-one wants.You sure by trials he didn't mean XC Time trials? as the greens are perfect for XC use, long life, good wet weather performance.Heres the link to the pads at wiggle, ebc reds are the soft ones but they never really amazed me with their performance.

Clownbike Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hmmmmmm.......interesting.So what sort of compound would give me some decent stopping power??So Kris, the gold ones you think would be the best? Have you used them before?Anyone ever used any other pads????Ta Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) I've used the ebc reds... they were okay but didn't really grab as much as i had been led to beleive. I've been told by a couple of people, think bigman was one... that the golds are much grabbier with the same hold.All i can say is never buy fibrax ones... their way beyond crap.

RobinJI Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 I agree that the Golds are better, I've put various makes golds in my breaks for DH/freeride bikes and its improved them loads over the shimano organic pads that were in the breaks originally.
