N.Wood Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 If they do they'll be standard black pads which (certain Rowans excluded) arn't up for trials use anyway. Its worth ordering some decent pads from Tartybikes. If you don't know whats best, look in the pad reviews or ring them up and ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycholist Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've used ones that look about the same as that from Discobrakes and superstar components. They work well for the money on a harsh grind. The likes of heatsink pads are better, but if money is tight these are the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bleed well, feel good, look good, and don't break!some people say the old ones are more powerfull but i prefer the new ones. nicer leaver feeling and they look nicer. also why not save yourself 30 quid send them back, buy them from tarty and use that 30 quid on some pads?The ones on Tarty are singles.

Ben John-Hynes Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 i wont have to bleed them / buy flewid when i get them will i ? Nope, they'll come fully bled and in working order. They only way you'll need to bleed them when you get them is if you want to bleed them with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's possible about the PSI thing. I had a crossover that was clear, briefly. I had an air bubble in there (the tube was too wide so it leaked) and when you squeezed the lever, the bubble, maybe 2cm wide, would shrink to a pinprick size.

Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's possible about the PSI thing. I had a crossover that was clear, briefly. I had an air bubble in there (the tube was too wide so it leaked) and when you squeezed the lever, the bubble, maybe 2cm wide, would shrink to a pinprick size.Ok we have a magura test rig with a pressure gauge on it. http://tnnengineering.com/15701/16101.html With the old skool magura lever (but still the same piston size as the current HS33) and the short two finger lever. We can achieve over 1000psi with one finger if you used two fingers and had a 4 finger lever 2000psi is certainly realistic. Where or not your frames is stiff enough is another question. When it comes to your magura set up there's no such thing as stiff enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
