loser Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Rock greens. For smooth rims.Matt Rushtonbad idea, unless you use tar. these pads are too soft and don't actually perform that well on smooth rim..plazmatic crm's work a treat on echo 07 rims (as long as the anodizing hasn't been taken off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticker Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Just grind your rim. You will get so much better performance when you have a grind. Then get some rock blues or plaz pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Zoot Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I was using ZOO! HS33 pads on a smooth rim and they grabbed really well, just put some tar on and they grab even better!! Go for it! only £15 on tarty at the moment! Bargain!

2sixstreet Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Another vote for Rock Greens - awesome on a rhyno lite smooth anodised rim (front with HS33). In fact, i'm changing to another compound because they bite a bit too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley-Wood Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 pink gu pads on a smooth rim all you need and are cheap on tarty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzamann07 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Are the V!Z pads (orange) good on a light grind for the rear compaird to the ZOO!'s? or.. .. wich koxx bloxx are best for wet weather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I had a pair of onza citrus pads I brought off tarty for 11 quid. On a smooth rim with a bit of tar they were brilliant. But I think the easyest option would be to grind your rim and get some koxx bloxx browns of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
