  1. Of course they will work mate. Just make sure your mounts are square by using the TNN hydraulic brake advanced setting up video!
  2. Forget that and get back on your bike mate! It was good though!
  3. What he said! I used Yellows, except from wearing out like fast, (less than half material left in a day ride), they do nothing.
  4. Well, no worries anyone. I tried washing my pads with water, then aceton, then I tried to file the pads a bit, then used a grinder to file them more, then tried to wash my rim and make the grind wear out a bit... All I could get from these pads was a huge scary slippy squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak. Nothing like a honk or a biting brake... So I am back to real Coust pads with plastic backings, They are just simply the best...
  5. Thank you Ash-Kennard! Your advices are always awesome! Hahaha. To my point of view, Coust! pads are the perfect pads, good hold, great bite, and perfect wear life!
  6. My bad mate. I tried to take my booster off and ride a bit, but it is just the same, except the brake lever is worse, and it holds like a soap on a banana.
  7. Thanks very much for that. Also, I have had quite a few problems with my set-up. If it's too rigid, can it stop my brake honking?
  8. Hahaha! Okay thanks. But I don't think my pads will bed in without me touching my bike. You know, I have a job, I can't ride every day... No worries mate!
  9. Ah okay that may be it then. Because my Cousts have always been better on a dead grind, so perhaps it's not the pads that need bedding in, perhaps the grind does...
  10. Well then, I don't know what it is... Have you been riding these bad boys a lot before they have been noisy? Or have they been noisy straight away? My bike is nice thanks, I'll keep it.
  11. Other than that they do yes. Except they just don't bite as well (because they don't honk if you see what I mean...) But I want a honking brake!
  12. Hello, sorry for this new brake pad topic. Well, I have just received my Coust'Sinks pads from http://www.heatsinkbikes.com. So I put them on my brake (4 finger lever bled with water, and Echo TR booster), ground my rear Try-Hole rim with a sharp medium grind, and set my pads perfectly straight to the rim, thanks to Try-All CNC brake clamps and to perfectly square brake mounts (made with the TNN Advanced brake setting video). Now my pads are perfectly square to the rim, touching at the same time the rim, my brake lever feel is solid as hell. The only problem I get is that my pads just don't honk at all. I have ridden my bike for about half an hour in front of my house. If I get to rear wheel it makes a poor squeaky sound. But if I feather the brake while rolling pretty fast, then it honks. Is this normal? Because I have always used standard original Coust! pads from Michel Coustellier, and they were honking straight from the beginning! Are the pads not bedded in yet? Please help. Thanks.
  13. f**king amazing style! Wow! Well done mate, just keep it up!
  14. Nice riding! Stan, how long have you been using TNN new pads? because it looks as they wear out fast!
  15. That was utter mental! So when is 9 minutes one out? Because I want moooooooooooooooooooooore!
  16. Yeah what do you think of the new rockman blue pads mate? Compared to Coust! if you tried them?
  17. I am not sure about the Stinger, you'd better call Tarty!
  18. Hey I am riding brakeless since two months now(or a bit more than that), and I just absolutely love it! That video is the exact way I wannna ride except that I ride a real trials stock bike without brakes (without all the BMX tricky thingies... Such as footjams). I don't want to get my brakes on anymore.
  19. They don't make the first one anymore. And it was not really solid anyway... (I have ridden one) The Quark 2 seems much better than the first one though!
  20. Yeah doesn't it need a booster? I use one my self on my Bionic B5R but if it is unnecessary, I might take it off...
  21. Rubber Queen are shit! You get problems like this one, you get puncture(s) at every rides, and it doesn't fit in all frames. The only positive thing about it is the rebound! But The Der Kaiser/Rain King rebound is much better!
