CriminalTrials.co.uk Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Depends entirely on your rim really, have you got a grind, if so how harsh is it etc. Tartybikes has reccomendations for each of its pads on the item description. Take a look and match them to your rim/riding style.I use plazmatics on a light grind and they are pretty awesome!Hope that helps.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Zoot Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Sorry forgot to mention im running a smooth rim and dont really fancy a grind as of yet, so basically what pads are best on a smooth grind.ThanksFesseyI'm going from onza pads to the ZOO! hs33 pads for the rear (mono mini on front) off tarty.

Landy Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I Have a non ground rims and a hs33 for the back, a few weeks ago I bought my self some zoo pads and have so far been very impressed. They lock very well, they are a bit loud though.Have a look at this " http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=41481 " (if you havent already) as it helped me when I was deciding what pads to get.

JoNnY__Mc Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 ZOO! pads are the best on an unground rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis p Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 well in my opinion i would say the zoo pads are amazing on a smooth rim. run a little bit of tar also on your rim and your brake will be imence. my mate has the zoo pads on the rear, on a smooth rim and a little bit of tar and it is amazing. If you are ever going to grind your rim then get a pair of plazmatic crm pads. I have been running them on my grounded rim for a while now and iv never had a problem. hope i helped you.

gianttrials Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 just fitted echo pinks to my rear maggy, an i have a smooth rim a use tar, so should be sweet, the only downside is the squelchy noise they make but i can live with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fessey Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have decided to go for the Zoo pads as my mate has got a pair of the older type with a fair bit meat on them so hopefully they will work better then my original magura pads.Thanks for all the helpFessy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
