funn soljam vipers are huuuuge.just a tip about 90-95 x 100mm http://www.bike24.de/p161969.html they also come with 2 sets of different length pins,3 mm for street and 4 for race(which would be the ones for trials obviously)

holy sh*t, didnt click on the pic to see full size,until now. that was literally sliced open! hope it healed quick

just a bit of messing around at the local treestump. wasnt in a good fitness state today,but oh well

i always use the f word a lot,if i would be videoed hurting myself it would sound like beep beeeebeeeep beepeepeeeeeeepeeeep!!!

(uploading at posting time) david hoffmann sent me this little vid of him testing my pads on the front(unfortunately had just 1 set ready to send him on this day)

hmmm,radix has 99mm mounts,rim is 47 and clamps arent offset. 6mm should work iirc

i thought its made of fishbones. thinking that over again its strange also haha

jeez,4mm.do you have a 47mm rim and 80mm mount spacing? sounds like a strange setup to me

theyre 10mm in height intentionally,better to grind down a pad which is too tall then having one thats too small and nothing to do about it

clean the pads really good before attempting to glue them in again,i guess super glue wont hold onto fish bones either

wait,it will be "no,not one bikeshop has the weird size the chinese use for freewheels"

wtf is fish glue then? i use cyanacrylate based glue or freshly mixed pad material,its also a good glue.

only if they arent ptfe coated

some say its necessary,some dont. i personally think its just for peace of mind.it just has to brake the bond,THEN can work itself out of the backing.so are my thoughts. if the backing and pad are meant for each other it shouldnt be necessary.

every of the remaining balls will take a 47th more load. imo it could lead to the freewheel having tight points or wiggle movements (eiern,for the germans ).minimal,but there. measure one up with a caliper,if its a common size like 3/16"(doubt that,was an example) a bike shop could have it in stock

misunderstood me obviously,i am a fan of the only-one oven method i meant when theyre inserted and not heated reading threads before posting into isnt done anymore nowaydays huh

imo if theyre glued in properly theres no way to get them out without ripping them apart. i think people dont know how to glue correctly. you have to apply pressure during the curing process,that will give a solid bond

as much as a wide pad is good for wear time,you could always take some pad material off to fit your setup though

i thought about making them my own shape,with rounded recesses instead of square ones,and in a size with which they'd fit every backing on the market just by cutting 2 little pieces off,glueing them in(obvious part),then cutting the pad body along the backing on both sides. it wouldnt matter what backing you got,just a minute of time and a stanley knife. there's the idea of a dedicated backing,too,but thats just far away in the future

so,atm i am discussing with a guy that can make me a bigger mould,and i need some opinions. i know that heatsink backings have slightly larger recesses,theyre longer but smaller in width. question:you guys'd rather cut pads to size and have a pad that fits every single backing or are y'all lazy and deffo want a dedicated pad for each backing? last chance for me to change my design

doesnt matter who tries them,the more input the better.world is full of clowns and bell ends,storytellers and cheaters.but that doesnt matter in terms of testing a brake pad. people just ride and tell me how their experiences were.also i dont know jack in person and cant follow the beef some may have with him,its not mine. got david hoffmann and dave kerr as pro level testers,and i believe their opinions are the most critical ones that will be stated,looking forward to this. for everyone else its just "check it out for cheap" and more important "checked it out?how is it?"

soft pads slip on grinds and hard pads slip on smooth rims in my experience,thats why i aimed for something in between with my compound.as for the brake,the whole setup makes the performance.a setup can benefit from a booster or go downhill because of it,because other factors play in as well.
