Sure sure! Even with CNC it was hard to make the curved design..... Not that the curved ones were better though, it was only to make a backing that would be hard for someone to improve... /Kolpen

Yes, my pads were too expencive compared to what's on the market now. But in a small quantity, curved design (to follow the rim), lightweight and gold anodised it had to be the price. Sounds cool you made your own though, that's why you wanted all that information? Just kiddin'.

What trend? CNC backings? Who started it actually? Plazmatic? Heatsink? and did someone come between? As a user/manufacturer of CNC backings, I can only say that with a well set-up brake, you won't be feeling much of a difference, plastic/CNC backings. I'm sure that KOXX/MONTY/Echo etc. would have made these CNC backing if they could just see a big market for it. Showed my first pair to Ot Pi in Czech Rep. in 2003. He was very impressed but within 3 min. he talked about forged backing instead of CNC. Also Vincent Hermance, Coustellier brothers and Ben Savage have tried my CNC backings. Mr. Savage still uses them. You should get a pair of CNC backings if you want stiff brakes and like to have some nice quality on your bike. Not to get a stronger brake... If it was just that simple.

Good video (Y) I could have told you about the brakepads.... :turned: You definetly have to look for some REALLY good glue to make the rubber stick to the 'holder'..... /kolpen

Thank you everyone for the comments! Always good to hear others opinions... :blink:

Hello My friend Mads made 2 videos from our last training. One with stones and one with logs. Personally I prefer the 'stones'. Log Section Stone Section Hope you enjoy. Comments are welcome.... (Y) Thank you for watching. Anders Kolpen

Custom freewheel? It's just a normal ENO (36ep) sprocket -who is available in different tooth sizes. Build on to a ENO 'trials' version. Giacomo use the same, but with 20tooth instead.
