pork chop retro brake pads - any good for a rider?
« on: January 18, 2014, 12:40 PM »

Just wondered guys if anyone has these pads on their old school rider?   They look good but do they stop good on tuff wheels?!!

Just wanted some advice before I pull the trigger on some white ones.  Thanks  ;) :)

Their stuff is ok mate, I have used their alloy sealed bearing headsets and they are great.  ($27.99 in various colours)  Their chaindiscs are pretty good too.  All depends what you want it for really mate.  :)
