JT! Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 (edited) JT's Pads (Whooo!)First of all, that is not what the build quality will be like. That was one of my first attempts at cutting etc. I've got a lot better but my cams not working so i can't take a pic of the one's ready to be tested, but will have in the next few days befor i send anything out.They are soft compound pads, designed for smooth rims. Looking for 5 people to test them, got 5 pairs ready to send in powerpad backings, must all have smooth rims or very dead grinds. Wouldn't mind one person to have a very light grind to see how they go with that. (Edit: Forgot to mention i only want them to be tested as a rear brake for now )Looking for people who've had a bit of experice with trying a few different pads, and people who arn't scared to tell me they're shite if they are. The test pads will be free.Also looking for a photographer to take pics of the pads whenever they go on sale (which is esitmated to be £6 per pair). Can't pay them, as i don't intend to make much money on the pads, but they will get to keep what they take pictures of. I think that's everything, so let me know if you up for it.

Mark W Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 From the looks of things, the pad compound's Red Leicester cheese? Where you getting it all from? Bit out of the blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 I can run them either on a smooth rim or a light grind . Just had a new wheelbuild. So let me know.Dan............ Kk, might get in touch with you later, i'll see who else posts up. From the looks of things, the pad compound's Red Leicester cheese? Where you getting it all from? Bit out of the blue?Cheeky I've been working on them and looking for different compounds for a while over winter, even half stripped on of my 4-bolt magura mounts on my frame. I'm no expert, hence why i'm looking for testers.Kept it very quiet, but read every single "How do i make my own brakepad threads" on TF, and everyone of Steve's posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
