Pads: koxx bloxxs reds Time used: weekish, so around 24 hours none stop riding on natural and street Rim used: 521 Grind: Yes Ceramic: No Brake used: Magura with canti studs, maggie and shimano booster. What is your opinion of a working brake: a nice amount of modulation but will bite when you pull the lever right in How do they compare to previous pads you have used: pretty damn good. i havent tried many maggie pads coming from a v for a while. but i have tried montys (small ones) koxx bloxxs (brown ones) and black maggie ones and they seem a fair bit better than any of them. Review: i got the pads and i wasnt to keen on the look of them. there was 5mm of backing which looked like nothing, well 5mm worth i spose but yeah there isnt a lot of pad on them for the £20 frigin quid haha. also they looked real sketch the way they were stuck on. they looked all wonky and looked as though you could ust pull them off. didnt bother trying to though as im not one for wasting money. so yeah i went a head and put them on and to be honest im crap at setting up brakes especially on canti stud things. but i put them on as good as i could and put a fresh grind in my rim adn went out the front and it was mint! it held like a bitch even when i had been messing around with oily hands touching my rim etc. i tryed getting up a wall and landed on the flat bit and they still didnt budge. all the pushing on the pedals wont move them either. but with this i have lost my modulation but oh well you win some and loose some. i am extreamly amazed that my grind has stayed so sharp to, as with my old brown koxxs the grind seemed to go within 3 days. but it has stayed sharp to this day :closedeyes: which only makes braking better and my life easier :- . they do have a nice sound when they bite to, its a bit like the zoo pads and fills you with an ounce of confidence to do them lovely silver rails. i also havent really noticed much wear in the pads and with the amount of riding i do this is quite impressive. i went though a set of monty small pads in a night on a freshly ground rim so in comparison to these they are pretty durable. the performance doesnt really seem to dip in the wet conditions either which is a nice bonus :D so to sumerise i would say these pads are pretty damn good. BUT the only gay thing is the price and with so many other pads like tart/daves, heatsinks etc for like £12 and maybe better braking they really dont compare and are a bit of a rip off. but if you have the money and have tried the other "home made" pads but want to try something different i would recommend these as i have been very impressed with thier holding ability. :)

laughing my mother trucking daughters, ass's, wifes, sisters, daughters, uncles, aunties, nans, grandads, arses off come on people, we all know matt b is really rubbish. bring on the custurds

shut the f**k up.

aust makes me laugh (Y)" i really couldnt give a flying poo what sort of riding people think is better or what ever. when i go for a ride i have a laugh and meet new people, and i think this is more important than someone is doing 60" hooks or what ever and being a big headed twat. its all peoples opinions again and we all know what users of tf think about your own opinion :) ahhh the joys of it all. *awaits bitching* :)

re stocking in a week...

its 9:10 you fool :D anyone seen the hope stems (theres not a pic) but it will be different to raceface blah blah hehe :D" going to be getting me one of them :)

we knew about that AGGGGGGGGES ago down here (Y)

i dunno :mellow: :">

get the eastons kyle, i have allways wondered why you run flat bars you fool :D im not to sure about strengh, mine only lasted 5ish months and then they wouldnt warrenty them (Y) had to pay £20 crash replacement which isnt really right considering they have a 5 year warrenty (Y) oh well:p trying med rise now, might be a bit stronger than the high rise ones before.

i cannot tell you how good i thought that video was steve. i am more than impressed. you seem to have improved a hell of a lot from the last time i rode with you which was what, 3 weeks ago. there is only one thing i would say though, very minor. that is that some of the clips you brightened up are too bright and i cant really see it all very well. but it was great otherwise.

looks like they will be a nice break from my exams to :closedeyes:

i got nout, purely because i can think of better things to spend my money than getting someone to put a hole in my body. but thats me and i dont really care about anyone else. haha, prepare to be slated. oh well :angry:"

could i enter these comps? might be interested if so... and yeah like tic said, make sure they dont clash with the hampshire ones (Y)

some old trials rider from swindon got the end of their finger cut off. cause he wanted to see how tight his chain was (with a front free wheel) when he was going along. you know the rest (Y)" apparently he still has the bit that came off in a jar of vinegar (sp) :">

that type 4 hanger is not an echo one. just found out today haha. got the grinder out though and it fits now *wipes brow*;)" hehe

think you will find ice would be slippier (sp) :sick: and it wont bother craig and neil as they are hard core street riders and i doubt they will ride in the rain :)"

yeah but there shit so dont do that

yeah me and stuart tryed eating some zoo pads yesturday, they are ubber soft and seem to wear real quick. so get them and use a light grind and your brake will be mint :sick:
