Pads: Trialtech sports in Heatsink backings
Time used: 3 weeksish
Rim used: Echo TR 24"
Grind: Yes
Brake used: 05 magura with 2 finger lever, metal TPA standard maggie slaves. Old school echo 4 bolt clamps with washer.
What is your opinion of a working brake: Complete trust in the brake, backwards and forwards hold.
How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Best pad I've had on grind, ultimate winter pad.
Review: Awesome pads, perfect bite and hold. Feels like a smooth rim running a clean grind. I've poured water on the rim and continued to ride without it getting any worse. Backwards hold isn't quite there yet but my setup isn't entirely square and it hasn't worn yet. Was doing a sidehop onto a wall with a huge puddle on it, front brake didn't exist but rear was still working awesome. Would recommend these to anyone considering trying them. Easy to get into the backings too, can post instructions if anyone is stuck with it.
