  1. well ive been using the reds and cnc backings for month n a bit now. and like above they are perfect.... very stiff ver very loud.. was riding in the wet tother day. and im sure rich pearson can voucj that there was hardly any difference in braking power when it got wet..there emeense.. even when his disk was startin to lack its normal hold mine just kept on trucking.. now they were getting a bit thin so i litrally a min ago put some coust m,aterial in. so il update few das comparing. but i will sure be usin another set of reds.

    now the cnc backings i put some coust pads on some powerpad backings for a friend and some on my cnc backings. comparing brakes you can feel that there is mucho more stiffness in the cnc thatn the powerpros there just no flex, awesom!!

    cheers
