wel i have must of used evey single type of brake pad in the world now lol. I know how sad but i must say for a grinded rim rock pads and for a smooth rim plaz pad trust me u wont go wrond with that.
i would go for a echo rim 2007 with some rock pads ummmmmmmmmmm now thats a good set plus i used to a tryall and the grind never lasted very long but they are very good on weight very light
im just wondering how many riders use a front v brake. i have always used front disc on my stock bike and if u do what pads do u use and do you grind your rim
