« on: July 28, 2011, 11:38 AM »
People mention different pads in different posts but is there a definitive list or something to save everyone gambling their hard earned away ? is there an ultimate pad for a specific rim type ? whats best on Araya's, whats best on Z's, whats best on Tuffs ??

I don't know what's best but, if you score the pad - razor criss-cross lines into it and give it a quick roughing up (not the sweeny way  ;D)
It will grip better  ;)

I've always found KoolStop pads to be very effective on both Tuff's and alloy rims


Better to crash and burn than fade away

for old school rims the brown/orangy Diacompe pads work pretty well, as for Tuffs and Z's?  not a lot works on them that well other than the new school clear pads but they squeal like a pig!

For new school rims (or if you don't mind using NS pads on your old school wheels) i like Kool stop eagle 2's  :daumenhoch:

I'd rather have decent Endo's and rock walks than pretty brake pads !
