If you are riding it new clear pads.almost any brand will do.they will usually squeak a bit after bedding it but its the price you pay for good stopping power. :daumenhoch:

The old Vans type Kool stop pads work well, but they do wear down quickly.  depends if your 16.5 stone like myself or featherweight 12 stone (ish)  :daumenhoch:

I've got clear new school clear pads on mine. Work so much better than tuff pads. They squeaked a lot when I first used them but they're not tot bad now.

Agreed, I fitted some to my Performer for Radchester, and spent the next day cleaning bits of rubber from my frameset. >:(

Took me almost a year to get to that from 13st12lbs. My face was looking a bit chubby so I sorted it out. I was 22% bodyfat and 40% body muscle, got the fat to 14.5% and the muscle to 44%. It's getting hard to now lose more fat whilst gaining muscle at the same time!


Thinking about these pads:-

Looks like a good option, think I'd go for the clear/blue as they are going on an 09 freestyler, cheers :daumenhoch:
