why does everyone want the loudest. surely a good bite, lock and hold are the first thing you should be looking for. personally i'd be looking for the quitest pads, with, a good, lock hold and bite, as i feel a right tard biking down the main shopping road in skegness, having to slow down because some holiday maker scum walks out infront of you, when i'm on the road, and i have to break with a big f**k off screech. everyone turns around and stares at you. you can see the look on that fit blonde with the nice arse and cracking tits's face, as if to say what a tw*t. sorry rant over. quiet brakes are the way forwards. i can see it. crystal ball and all that shizz. on the other hand plazmatic crm's are good on a smooth rim. as are heatsink snowys.
