Scott Gibbs Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've picked up a silly cheap BB7 from a friend but the pads are completely f**ked and I need some new pads. Looking for more stopping power than modulation. Any suggestions folks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 I've run every pad under the sun in my bb7 since getting one over 10 years ago... the trialtech/jitsie pads are unbeatable for pure trials grabbiness. I run these on my comp bike with a 180 rotor, sd7 and odyssey housing...super solid grabby. On my "street" bike I run some cheap no name amazon chinese pads, 203 rotor and odyssey housing. They are amazingly grabby- I am impressed, my only issue with the jitsie pads is at high speeds (15-20 mph hill bombs) they fade quickly and feel shite at high speeds...kind of like running a deep grind , not swell at high speeds but amazing for classic trials. The chinese pads rock at high speeds, and the 203 rotor makes them quite grabby for pure trials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartMini Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Agree with Andy on the Jitsie pads. Running them on a Hope and they have the same behavior at high speed. For proper trials riding they do work well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Only really found that happened to mine when they got mega hot doing a lot of stoppies. That weird 'sandy' feeling goes away pretty quickly and they come in again nicely though, they don't act like Hopes where once they've glazed it's basically game over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 So Jitsie or trialtech pads are the winner then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niconj Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Both the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 both are great! got the jitsies in my bb7 on the back and it's mega although a well set up bb could probably work on pad backings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
