All of you who are sayign they have no power and grab, obviously have the 6" version, james has the 8" one.
they used to be mine on my dh'er, and they are mint.
boiling the pads gets rid of the oil, brake fluid, etc. boil them on the hob for like 20 mins.
I have a 6" version on my street bike, it does not hold as well or fee las grabby, but it is ample for street, hold fine whilst abubacaring rails, etc, holds fine on the coing at skateparks too.

P.S. Oh and james, it was you who got shit on the pads, because it was fine when I gave it to you.
