Grant H Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 they might work,if they don't put a bit of tar on your rim and they will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 hmm, lets hope they are the spanish fly compound never seen them before! got an ebay link to any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb_o Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 yeah sure...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trials-Specific-Clea...VQQcmdZViewItemI can't find any reviews anywhere but £5 is worth the risk of it being rubbish as i might be onto a winner here!(They seem to be the ONLY trials pad going that will fit in a standard V-brake backing).

CurtisRider Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 just be careful, those pins have a tendancy to rip through the pad material with trials useage, i used to glue mine in (its not like the backings are expensive/hard to get hold of) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robb_o Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Oh yeah that's a really good point!Nice one Paul, i'll definatley consider superglue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yeah, those little pins also have a tendency to fall out, meaning you'll have an almost certain chance of death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Yeah, those little pins also have a tendency to fall out, meaning you'll have an almost certain chance of death. Loctite the pins in, then you will be abe to get them out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Loctite is for threads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
