Nick Garland Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 From personal experience.All the "home made" pads do not last long, they may offer good performace but they all seem to die quick on dead grinds, and last about 2 hours on fresh grinds.Koxx Browns, insane life can last over a year on fresh grinds, they do kill the grinds a bit though how ever they do work mint and I have sworn by them for over 2 years, until now. Brilliant bite, modulation and the hold is good.Plazmatic CRMs, these are also very good pads, long lasting, about 6 months on fresh grinds, but also work on dead grinds, insane honking noise and great hold.Echo pads, my new favourites. They are very soft and work best on a dead grind or they will only last about 2 months. Currently used them on a few rides and so far they are one of the better pads I have used, good noise, strong bite and again very good hold.I would reccomend any of the above, depends how long you want them to last as they all offer good performance however the shorter the life span the better they seem to be up to a point.Koxx Browns : 12 months +Plazmatic CRMs : 6 months + Echo pads : 3 months + (at a guess, not wearing too fast at the moment and my grind is not completely dead) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikeriding Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 There the best on a smooth rim lol. I chucked mine, no sound, no bite and the pad wobble its just silly, the whole bike moves when on the back wheel- although they do work alot better on anodised rims but new backings are a must.

Ben Jones Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 My onza citrus on a light grind was an amazing brake. Defo recommend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Garland Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Never used spanish fly pads but from what I hear they are not that good, they are a very hard compound and you need a really harsh grind to make them work well. Apparantly good for wet weather but as I said I have not used them this is just what I know from a friend who has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
