Luke Rainbird Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 YepHeatsink initially spring to mind, with a series of compounds available (www.heatsinkbikes.com)Mike Singleton did (does?) his Phat pads, which I think may be available as refilsRemember you can transplant other pad material easily too if you have spares lying around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in stock however, so PM Steve (TF username 'Heatsink') about those. £8 a set if I remember correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Your all wrong apart from mike singleton (SP?) might be able to help you.Plaz vee pads use a longer pad so the cnc backings are longer by about 10mm i think to magura pads. So the only way to replace the material with something else is to buy a piece of rubber long enough thats uncut and cut it yourself. Heatsink might be able to sell you some or anyone else that buy in material and sells it. But no shop such as tarty ect will be able to help as plaz dont do refills.

Heatsink Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm sitting here cutting brake pads as we speak. I can and have made Plaz inserts before, but haven't advertised it on my site as I naturally focus on supporting my own Magura sized backings. I haven't got the refills marked as available for sale on my site at the moment, but this is due to the site being alittle out of date in some places and awaiting the long promised overhaul. Something keeps cropping up!Feel free to get in touch to discuss any special requirements you might have Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant wildman Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 cool , well i have PM'd Mr singleton.still intersted as to whom else will do refills to fit , also any recomendations on pads for smooth rims?my zoo'sare fine , just want to try a few others!cheers for all the quick replys so far!!grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Heatsink Reds seem awesome from my experience, and I've also tried out the Coust pads on a smooth rim, which worked really well tooZoo pads (the originals) impressed me at first, but deteriorated over time which was annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) and the new neco pads , will they be producing the red compound pads for vee?Yep, we sure will. Just waiting for some final feedback from our riders on the performance and durability of the material and they'll be available to everyone through the site. We've had nothing but good feedback from everyone who's used them though, so it looks to be promising. If you have specific requirements for sizes we can cut them for you too, at no extra charge.

Heatsink Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Some more options: Here's an idea you can try. Magura pads can be fitted into CRV backings as long as you pack out the far ends. Possible DIY job that will be interesting to CRV users.This photo shows how I used 3 Magura pads to produce a pair of replenished CRVs!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to send us an email we can let you know more about it.Prices will be the same as the yellows for re-fills, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 looks like a good temp soloution !are the reds suited for a smooth rim also steve?grantThe reds shown above are the ones I've been selling off cheap. They are great for smooth rims but, as is a common problem when looking for suitable Trials compounds, their wear life on grinds is below the standard I think riders will find acceptable.Good to see plenty of choice around Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant wildman Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 loverly , i think i will be trying pads from both steve and kris !just glad to see options are avalible !thanks again to all for a quick reply!are zoo pads fading out like they did once before??how come they never made vee pad versions? maybe beacuse the wana promote the ol dengura? who knows.glad to see more pads for a smooth rim are becoming avalible !grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 glad to see more pads for a smooth rim are becoming avalible !Yes, seems to have been more interest and questions about the reds than the yellows. I guess as summer rolls on and the good weather should (hopefully at least) be on the way there'll be a lot of people wanting to prolong their rim life by not running a grind.
