hopefully you´ll get on with the pads i sent you,theres 4 compounds in there...didnt try them on the front though,but on the rear on my coworkers mtb he made skids unintentionally lol

please DONT smash your pc!!! :wink2: joking,mate!

the only way is to ride your grind dead,and then use the slightest tad of tar instead,if necessary. ground rims are the opposite to modulation i´m afraid

holy oldskool flavah,thorsten b´s vid just has become one of my favorites!

with hydraulic brakes you always get the better lever feedback,fluids dont compress but a brake cable can stretch and the hosing is flexing.

around 4,50 gbp google says.installed pairs of medium and soft pads on my coworkers mtb today,just to have them tested on a smooth rim,and theyre awesome. and thats with evo mounts and a flexy frame... so my final conclusion for the can of resin i used so far is: -80a,resin as it is:worst bite,best hold.smooth rim pad for tarred rim. -resin with 10-15%of filler:better bite,good hold:smooth rim pads as desired -20-25% of filler:what i´ve tested today,like the above ones but a bit better hold everything with more filler added has been tested on a fresh grind now:unexpected:bad bite,great hold(for these i figured out they fill the grind with white powder after a few hours ride,which isnt desired,so they will be ditched),thats the hard pads and ultra hard pads this shows that the amount of filler adds some bite at first,but over a certain amount only makes the pad harder and the bite decreases again. and also shows that i actually created mostly smooth rim pads,what i didnt think to be honest.we´ll see how the pads perform for dave33,he´s mainly after great hold for frontwheel stuff. stay tuned,90a is the way to go now!resin is already ordered

when you change the leverage ratio of the brake you get a different feedback from the rim,the frame could flex more also.the leverage always works the other way round,too

long v levers usually kill the feel of the brake,gets spongy.

revive mine instead,need input on plastics

hi isitawoofs aka you!

as the topics gone deja vu got nothing to add to my previous comment

after testing all 3 compounds,and finding only the hard ones are good(medium were good on a grind,but not awesome) i come to the conclusion i need a resin that hardens more,like 90a or something. i mean, they lock the wheel up,theres no doubt,but i deffo want more bite for my pads.as i said,they are like snowies,no bite,great hold. i´ll order some other material now and try this out. if someone wants some pads for the cost of postage and is running a really harsh grind feel free to pm me,got 3 sets of hard and 3 medium left. (would be nice to get a few bucks to invest in new material though)

if its a container format like .mt2s you could convert it to mp4/h264 pretty lossless

tuck hook? going nuts watching this stuff haha!

duuuuuuude!

that table tennis line was crazy! the guy at the end... :bow: awesome vid

very cool,liked the camera angles a lot. yeah,the shed smack,i bet youve been hitting that thing several times when leaving for a ride and that gave you the idea?

when the time comes your ankle is fully stressable again you´ll be going fairly big! jealous of your setup,wish i had a spot like that. nice watch

heatsink or selfmade.the ones with spring sheets and teflon glider work best imo,and are pretty silent,plus the hit resistance

we´ll see,i wont stop making pads and in the end there will be something useful. just started to microwave cure them in intervals,it bleaches the colour and they get less elastic edit:ground the rim and using microwaved pads today,(monday). well excited about the results to come....

last time you said this you just shouldnt´ve been using your browser to visit the site anymore? i think its the same this time,if you think you shouldnt be here just dont log in.. but another question:why does this have to happen,you seem quite frustrated to me?why not just post in the angry thread an maybe get some useful advice,or at least someone who is ranting about something with you?

i´ll subscribe your channel dude!

sooo,for those who are interested,i was out last evening to test softer pads,and they kind of sucked. dont know if its the fact my rim needs a grind(and the pads arent for smooth rims),or the compound bein not fully cured,or even my rim not bein totally smooth. but to point this out:"softer pads are for smooth rim" is a misassumption.i and others i talked to thought the same compound in another hardness should be used for smooth rims,but there seem to be many other factors that determine a smooth rim pad. need to figure out if theres a difference in polyurethanes i may use to better my pads,did a bit of testing with echo refills and a v!z pad etc. just held a lighter to them to see if theyre thermoplastic,and found out they smell very differently when burnt,some smell like phosphor,some like burnt tyres. so its definitely DIFFERENT BASE MATERIALS manufacturers use,not just polyurethan based on polyol and triisocyanate i´d like to show the plastic pro geek guy to show up somuch right now! btw my hard pads rule,its weird

nice. i just cant believe a phone could have a better quality than my dedicated fhd camcorder.
