trialsr lee Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hi,you could get a brake booster only about £20.00 from tartybikes.co.uk they decrease the amount of frame flex, some people say do you need brake boosters personally i feel it depends on how much your frame does flex.trials-r-lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 koxx browns and a sharp grind or snowys and a medium grind with tar .Any of thease combos are absoluctly mint i Would recomend them to anyone.rick snowys are great pads imho ( i have used them and tohught they were awful pads), and what is the point is grinding your rim then using tar aswell? kinda defeats the point in grinding your rim, you might aswell not have ground it,if you can afford new pads then put a light-medium grind on your rim and use the kool stops i did for a while and they were alright.

matt rushton Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Get some blue Ali C pads and a light grind. I got some today and i'm really happy with them.Matt Rushton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamory Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hi, i don't see why everyone sees kool stops as being so 'bad'.I use them on a non-ground rim with a bit of tar and they work fabulously. Even when i didn't use tar they worked really well, but i suppose if you don't get along with them then its up to you.thanks, jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
