Anyone tried any of these.....

[Flatcap]

......they look like they would work awesome on chrome rims but has anyone tried any yet. They're not cheap but by what they say it sounds like you can just replace the pad and not the whole brake block. Bu there's no price for replacement pads so I'm not sure how cost effective they're gonna be in the long term.

Any feedback ladies and gents?

 i'm pretty sure i have seen a thread on these or a very similar heatsink pad, from what i can remember it was all good ( apart from the price of course!! )

the white one might be good for use on white tuffs

James Hitchcox uses some trials blocks but Im not sure what they were.
His worked very very well, and he was using black rims (black rims never usually work as well as chrome rims).

£20 for brake blocks and it says replacement inserts are £9.99

ill stick to my kool stop supra 2's for £9.99 and they last me 2 years and have never let me down on a chrome rim


most of my trials friends actually take a grinder to the edge of their painted rim to roughen it up so the blocks work better, after a while the block wears the rim smooth again and the blocks dont work as good so out comes the grinder again

Well £20 For Some Brake Blocks Is Well To Much. I Always Find The Good Ol' Standard Green Tektro Brake Blocks As They Stop Pretty Well.

Acor Do Some Brake Blocks That Are Clear. Great Stopping Power!, But If You Dont Ride Your Bike For A While They Go Very Hard And When You Brake They Squeek Like A Dog Having His Nuts Chopped!

Plus The Acors Are Only A Fiver!
