[T.McMillan]

Just wondered what the most popular brake pad was for magura, and tell me what you think if you want

EDIT: i currently use monty 219XH and they are pretty damn good, v sticky on a ground rim but warn down a fair bit, used to use rock pads blue, but i didnt find them that good

[streetjibs]

cousts?

You missed out heatsinks

Last time I was in west bay easily half of us there had heatsink blues that most of use had got in like the last week or so and were all loving. haha. And a couple of other guys had other heatsink pads.

[largie]

id personally go for heatsinks, when i had my last trials bike i had a pair of heats on a ceramic d521 rim, sweet baby jesus did that brake grip! and those were the 2nd batch of heatsinks he ever made so they cant have gotten worse since then?

id personally go for sinks

what about phat/joy pads?

how do they work?

I've yet to feel a better brake than what have now. Hence me having them on there for years.

Smooth rim, little bit of tar.

I prefer Cousts

[Janson]

Coustelliers..

[manuel]

out of all of them its clearly the blacks......

[Sutty22]

I've got Coust-Sinks with CNC backings and they're absolutely great. You can get them cheaper with plastic backings too.

[Janson]

Or buy the material directly from France and glue into backings, saving lots of moneys.

Same, without the tar.

Shame when it rains..or you go to a dusty place...

Twas a toss-up between Zoo pads and koxx browns... Went for the koxx browns... Even though i'm using one on each side of by bike

[Nick Garland]

I voted Echos for now, as they are my summer pads as I do not really need a grind, got a grind but its very dead.

I run Koxx Browns in the winter though, nothing beats these pads on a grind for wet weather they are truly amazing. Somthing Koxx did right, making good pads lol. I am not a fan of the rest of their products.

Koxx Brown Koxx Brown Koxx Brown Koxx Brown Koxx Brown Koxx Brown

Ask anybody that rode my bike on Sunday (Portsmouth) it works like a monster, I was even holding taps in the pissing rain.

[pengsmelly]

well i just said koxx brown but you missed out the best pads yuo could buy. COUSTs with cnc backings. bit pricy but well werth the money. cousts ***!

[Ash-Kennard]

what about phat/joy pads?

yeah, i just clicked on koxx browns as they were the last pads i bought, and were pretty good

[mods]

i'd say blue rock pads, on a sharp, works amazingly on my set up.

[David20]

Koxx bloxx brown are all round best pad IMO, although the new echo pads are pretty amazing aswell! Just a shame they wear out very quickly I'm currently running an echo pad on one side and a koxx brown on the other, works rather well .

[Ben Jones]

I voted rimjam, because they were without a doubt the best pads i've used. Just amazing.

However broke both my cylinders so i'm going for my close second - Cousts cnc'ed....although theyre not up there ^^^ they are pretty good.

[Greetings]

where the hell are heatsinks in that list?

Coustsinks are the best pads ever. Full stop

[NileBrown™]

I voted for Rimjam v3 pads - they've been a bit of a bugger for me since I bought them as ive snapped about 4 cylinders due to the backings but ive now cut , shaped and stuck them into powerpad backings and now theyre great. I voted for them as they feel in my opinion the best compound and are better than my old pads, which were koxx yellows

[Simpson]

NON of the above. Heatsink Reds in CNC backings own all pads
