just thought if anyone needs any new brake pads and wondering what are good, i just bought some new Demolition ones from Custom Riders.....they come in black, White and clear for really stickyness. i bought some white ones for £4.99 i think and they grip like poop to a blanket! highly recomend them if anyone needs new pads

pickle · « **Reply #7 on:** June 04, 2008, 01:21 PM »

no squeeling issues but i've only had them a few days, so can't tell how well they wear yet........but at £5 a throw it's not too expensive to replace them

No! you're kidding right?

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:20 AM »

you wouldn't want the back of your leg coming down on that disc though would ya when you stack it!

slice your muscle in two!!

jedi · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:22 AM »

used them for years on mtbs!
i guess they would be a git on the ickle bike

pickle · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:25 AM »

yeah i've used em for years to on the MTB but on a BMX i think the disc would be too near the back of your leg if you stack it! mybe not though??

jedi · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:27 AM »

i think they'd just bend on coping and stuff thinking about it

Hydrolic cables could be an issue with a gyro too

<FACT!>

When I went to the Nissan jumps at Tate the other week there was a bike with a Hydraulic gyro, spoke to the rider and he said the only thing is it stiffens the headset up and need more effort for whips?

pickle · « **Reply #22 on:** June 05, 2008, 08:43 AM »

a hydrolic gyro?!?! surely that can't be done?? sure it wasn't a mechanical disc brake? although i'm guessing as you asked him you actually saw it up close and personal $:-\$
