Found boa's to me the best , run em on all my riders with tech 77, very hard to get 6mm, good job I pick loads of sets up years ago  Dead cheap :daumenhoch:and no

So you've got the european boa mountain then  ;D

Anyone got the ultimate mag pad?

Has anyone used the soft clear pads I keep seeing?

Jon,the new clear pads work brilliantly on mags,they just tend to squeak alot! :daumenhoch:

I'm running the new skyway pads, their ok but nothing to write home about. I've also tried eagle 2's which are fairly similar  ???

You have to sand the eagle II's a little first bro to get rid of the smooth surface. Worked for me on Z's, Peregrine's and Skyways  :daumenhoch:

I did give 'em a quick rub but maybe not enough :) They're ok but I think I just expected a bit more really...................

 I Use skyway pads on my graphites not the newer version all over eBay but the older type from 2007 ish , only seen them in black and white, i think there made by coolstop, there very soft and work brilliantly but also wear out very quick.

Don't forget you need to fit them right with the trailing edge nearly touching the rim so it applies first upon braking and then the front comes in after  :daumenhoch:  Don't remove the trailing edge or they don't function properly  :P

Have you tried the Eagle II Salmon's dude  ??? They have something added apparently  :-\  Probably glass  :2funny:  but they work awesome  :daumenhoch:

Hard to get the threaded version of them now though  :(

mate,the clear pads bite right from the off,if you still have no stopping power check the brake setup! :daumenhoch:
