Ben John-Hynes Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 They wore at a stupid angle 'cause I'm a 'tard at setting my brakes up. So one end of the pad was nearly full, and the other end was down to the backing! :| What a twarrrrrt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoo python luke Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Pads:RockMan Blues Time used:Just about 5 weeks Rim used:echo urban Grind: Yes ishh Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Nice sharp bite, amazing hold . How do they compare to previous pads you have used: bit better Review: it might be that its a dead grind but the hold is orite sometimes, for a manual there perfect. and to be fair they aint worn down at all and i ride 4 times a week, good at the moment should be amazing with a nice grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Beach Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pads: TNN LGM Time used: 3/4 months Rim used: Try-All Grind: Yes, deadish Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Good bite and hold How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Amazing! Review: These are really powerful, worked amazing with my booster but they were silent. Took my booster off and now they are even better but extremly loud! Would recomend to anyone thinking of buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Pads: Tnn Kenny Belaey Time used: A month or so Rim used: Try-All Grind: Yes Ceraminc: No Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Good bite and hold How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Amazing! Review: Got these before they are in the shops, to do some testing for Tnn Engineering. Theses pads took about 30mins to bed in, on a fresh, light but sharp grind. After the bedding in, they are insane! Tnn will do very well with these pads, as they are better than any pad I've ever tried. (Hs yellows/blues/reds, koxx yellows/blues/greens, Phatpads, Plaz CRMs and just abit better than my LGMs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCottTrials Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 Pads:Echo White Time used: A week Rim used: Onza Hog Grind: no Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Nice sharp bite, amazing hold . How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Extremely poor Review: I've had worse brakes, but don't let that distract you from the fact that this is one appalling set up in the Tgs sense. HOWEVER: I just wanted to flag these up for street riders, I'm talking spins manuals etc. These might work well, they have good hold but not much bite so I think they'd be excellent for that sort of thing. They make a high pitch squeak much like in Fred Judds (I think that's his name) video a long while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 Nope, useless. They're surprisingly good on a medium grind though, wear rate is terrible but at £11 a set, you can't go wrong really. (They were £11 when I last bought some, in 2006, no idea what they are now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p_ruskin Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Pads: Heasink Yellows in Rockman CNC backings Time used: 2 Months Rim used: Onza Pro Series Square Grind: Yes Brake used: Magura 05 , water bleed What is you opinion of a working brake: Good bite, Better Hold How do they compare to previous pads: Alot better, compared to most other pads, rockman and TNN. Review: with a booster the hold is amazing it just wont slip, even in the wet, sound is really good too. Without a booster the bite is immense, but the hold is not quite as good but still efficient, recommend these to anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Citrus Greens. Oh my god... They're awesome. They do wear down CRAZY quick on a grind, so I run a sanding pad over the rim, rather than a cutting/grinding disc. Best brake I've ever had. Even with that, they're half gone in a month. Still - I view it as worth it for such a good brake. Edited July 16, 2010 by aener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipod Bob Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 (edited) Pads: Kenny Belaey TNN Time used: 1 week Rim used: Tryall Hole Grind: Yes Brake used: HS33 Went from rockman blues to the Kenny Belaey pads which are unbelievable, i cant describe how good they are. Nice sharp bite and tons of hold. I did a fresh grind on the rockmans blues and they just lacked bite and hold, i kind of always untrusted them for big gaps and natural, stuck the Belaey pads on the same grind and they are perfect, best pads i've ever used over the 5-6 i've ridden trials. Highly recommend. Quite loud 7/10 for loudness but i dont mind considering the performance. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11311&category_id=4 Edited August 3, 2010 by Ipod Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandalf the Yellow Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Pads: TNN Kenny Belaey / CNC Backing Time used: 2 weeks Rim used: Tryall hOle Grind: Yes, Medium Brake used: Magura HS33 2005, Blood bled, standard 2 finger lever, Tryall 2 Bolt Booster What is you opinion of a working brake: Power, bite, hold and good noise for confidence How do they compare to previous pads: better than any other set ups I've ever had in my 6 years of riding, the best were Plaz CRM's on old Tryall rim on light grind, but this one pisses all over it. Review: Absolutely flawless pads, with a fresh medium grind it takes about 20 secs to bed in. The hold on them are just immense, the noise is brilliant if you like brake noises, it's loud and deafening and very sharp and it really helps with confidence personally. Backing looks rather pimp and fitted to my HS33 without a problem. They are a bit pricey mind you, but for that price and being the best brake I've ever used it's totally worth the extra money, being a harder compound I will assume the wear rate should be good, but time will tell. Only bad thing I can think of is that it's not a snug fit with (my slave cylinder) it does have a little bit of play once locked up from the pads to cylinder, it's a slightly irritating creak and feels a little odd as you've always got that little play when you're on the back wheel etc. And I also fear that it might snap my slave cylinder into bits being that powerful.
