which brake pads do you run?

[80sBMXer]

Just taken my TRM out for a bit of a shakedown and the brakes are sh1t


Hi,

I'm running black repop skyways and 880/901 front and rear with new but cheap pads I had lying around , so it may be that they havn't bedded in yet

question do I fit what looks good or what works

tuff pads or new type skyway pads

or go for diacompe tan/white, do they work??

I may be a bit heavier since the 80's which may add to the problem.

any advice welcome

I found the new skyway pads shite. Clear pads work the best for me. I use Salt ones but Odyssey clear as good. The soft compound ones..
I run a bulldog with a acs doubler up front and a Odyssey Evo2 rear. They are very good.

you sure its down to pads and not cable inners ?

i used to find acs pads were better than skyway pads bitd-but yeah they do feel shit now ,must be the extra weight we have gained

DC tan blocks ~ clean rim and give block a degrease once in a while

new school blocks work well but squeal like a cat on a hot tin roof
