What brake blocks would you use ????

[Funkyworm]

Ok,

So I recently build an old school rider with alloy rims, what (old school) brake blocks would you suggest using for the best stopping power

I know its wont be great as I'm only using a mx900 rear only, I was using tuff pad copys but there was next to no stopping power at all  unless i really cranked the Lever super tight ...

Thanks in advance.

Mate Is there any difference between the compound on the colours as I have black brown & white in dc blocks ?

No difference to my knowledge, obviously white and black were for Tuffs and Z's.

I have white DC blocks on one of mine and it still leaves black residue on the rim!

Either way they don't work particularly well, and in the rain you've had it.

I run cool stops on the rides and by fookerty do they work!

Just check my back tyre from Chester. Balder than PeterJ
