As above , ive a set of red z rims and im a little concerned about using a standard brake pad on them.
Can i use skyway pads or does it have to be z pads. Have you tried finding any recently!

Both work well mate - im running skyways at the moment same as you red ones and there fine no marks at all and the stop proper good - i found z'eds softer and needed replacing more often

Cheers matey , i reckon tuff pads are easier to find an all. Unless there the next thing to go sky high.

Im sure there were some in the for sale section earlier - they often pop up especially in red - wont take long to source some mate - they go for reasonable money to
