ok well il bring my cam along with alot of questions...se you alla t 11 looks like a few other tauntoners may be coming
-
i sure will be there.... what time ? :S
-
ok well where do i start....ok lets count the koxx yellows as that when i feek that really started omrpovin and throught that i had been tnrough some rim jams red, ble and geens wich i reallt think they werye not up to the job. i then went back to some trusty koxx bloxx this was on a alex dx32 and to be honest was good in the wet just as soon as it got wet grind dies and pads lots the power..so i tried a koxx brown and one koxx yello and they were wickid bud didnt last long and again dies quicky. so then i tried some heatsink white pads wich i loved and could see myself never changing just had the grabiness byt again as son as it got wet again they were out and no good, then tried some of the oldy heatsiink yellows wich lasted me ages and were same sorta thing as whites just didnt have the power in wet...
no i bought a set of blues as everyone was raving about so went and bought a set and to be honset they were no where as good as i thouhgt they would be.. the were very lod but to me it fely as iff the material was sqyuishy and very spongy wich let the plastick backings to flex aswell. within about a week out of all the materail on the oad had almost done and had had started to wear at strang weird angles. i put the pads down to be quite soft and and also having a very shard grind (sunn doublwide). so stuck the bloxx back .
after stickin with a not so good brake for awhile i was looking for and arenative i saw the nex cnc backings wich were now out so off i went to order myself. when i got them they looked amazing and were made very well. i stuck them on the bike and i was expecting for the pads to die quicky and and we ready to put some koxx bloxx in the cncs thinkiny that they were goin to die very soon. i was very rong. they are wickid extremly loud rode i the wet and hold amzing and i have no flex beacause of the cnc backindas and no spngey plastic backings. the pads are till wearing fas. but knowhere nbear as fast as they did first time around. very happy with the blues and the cncs i also have a rb lever and it soo stiff. wickid pads. just spose could do with a less harsher grind. also hearing how easy it is to peplace new materials was a big attraction also i can tell that there is less pad roll with cnc backings and alslo the o rings are replacable so thats all good.
so thats bout me done. few pics not brill but get they idea...
thanks
