Matt Burrows Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 They're not out yet, I think I've got the only set made so far. But they work great, and look very similar to the Mag backings. Me, Mike and Max T are off to Europe for 2 weeks tomorrow, so it will probably be a good month or so before they are ready to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you guys soon.Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny@phatworks Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Really does make a huge difference having a good clean, scrubbed rim to get any dirt, tar if applied in the past etc off. Fresh grind on the rim and these pads really do come alive, I have used these on about 4 different rims smooth and grinded. They will work nicely on a smooth rim and they will work amazing on a good grind and be extremely loud too.The new vee backings and running Phat Pad material looks very promising from what I have seen of the set given to Matt, look forward to getting myself a set to see how they hold up.

Revolver Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 On a smooth rim, how bitey are they? I don't mind about hold, they'll have plenty of that, I just want a brake I can trust for manualling my bmx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 On a Chrome rim they'd be pretty insanely bitey if you ask me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Good to hear it. Two new limited edition colours, a new brake fluid, and the vee pads will be announced very soon once the website is finished - complete with online ordering.

Muel Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Is this fluid like an emulsion type fluid Mike?Will it be ready in the next couple of weeks?How much will it cost?Are you allowed to answer these questions yet? Just I was planning on rebuilding my rear brake along with the rest of my bike and I want to try a fluid with more lubricating properties, fed up of sticky pistons. (Lever and slaves).

Phatmike Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Is this fluid like an emulsion type fluid Mike?No, it's water based, with additives. Myself and several others have been using it since late last year, both in new and old brakes, and have found it to perform really well, without the drawbacks of tap water.Will it be ready in the next couple of weeks?Yes.How much will it cost?Unable to give an exact amount just yet, but it will be be less than half the cost of Magura Blood. Are you allowed to answer these questions yet? tongue.gifNo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
