Brake Pad recommendations
« on: May 21, 2010, 12:02 AM »
Hey All

Having trouble finding decent brake pads for my Bulldogs.

The rims on the 95 vertigo I just picked up are a bit shot. I´ve cleaned em up and degreased em but the old pads are not doing the business.

Having been out of it for a few years, is there a good pad that will give good performance used with the old bulldogs?

Cheers ;)

I have always had good success with either Dia compe or Skyway brake pads...   Try cleaing your rimes with some cola first then rinse that off with some water,  it has always improved my braking  :daumenhoch:

I had some tuff pad copies on my rider and the performance was w@nk - replaced them with "Kool Stop - eagle 2" pads now and they are waaaaaay better  :daumenhoch:

Good pads, not a bad price and still look kind of old school-ish as they look a bit like the skyway freestyle pads  ;)

There's some on the bay but they probably sell them at most bike shops (maybe cheaper ? dunno  ??? )
