mcinnes Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 ill enter my input then run, you will get so many replies blue rock pads +1 But the plastic backings on for them snap/crack fairly easy. So when mine snapped, I took them out of the plastic, cut them to size, and put them in some CNC'ed backings and they are mint. If anyone reccomends heatsink reds, don't get them because mine lost all there meat in a matter of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I hated my Rock Blues, but I could never get the grind harsh enough, but then I bought a bike with rock blues on a pretty harsh grind and it was dead good, I then deduced that I can't grind for shit.

Ben John-Hynes Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 But the plastic backings on for them snap/crack fairly easy. Absolute bollocks, Are you saying that based on the fact that you've snapped 1/maybe 2 plastic backings then moved straight onto CNCd ones? Maybe you can't set up a brake? Cousts are pretty good. Never really used them for long enough to give a proper review though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil H Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 +1 But the plastic backings on for them snap/crack fairly easy. Haven't snapped any in a couple of years with 5 or so different types of pad. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo-Scott Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 If anyone reccomends heatsink reds, don't get them because mine lost all there meat in a matter of weeks. My heatsink reds are atleast 4 months old, still got half of the pad on one side and more than half on the other. Absolute bollocks, Are you saying that based on the fact that you've snapped 1/maybe 2 plastic backings then moved straight onto CNCd ones? He's not the only one to have snapped backing on them. I have snapped 4 of the backings in a very short period of time. Personaly I would recomend heatsink reds in CNC'd backings. Best brake I have EVER had.
