Hi all.......i've got some white copy tuff pads but they don't do a dam thing!

What's the best to get?

I know they never work as good on tuffs/Zytecs as they do on rims but there must be something??

Well I always found the os dia compe pads better than the tuff pads, could never get the tuff pads to work properly, I only bought them because Skyway spouted a load of shite saying that any other block would damage the rim...load of shite

vans brake blocks are excellent or the skyway freestyle tuff pads as they are softer

I've always used skyway pads with no problems. I have freestyle ones at the mo and they are very good. Mind you though, they were £20 which I thought was a bit steep.

Copy pads were always very poor. I recall from BITD though that z-rim pads were good. I think I have a very worn old white pair somewhere if you want to try them.
