dannytrialskid Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) Hi, Thinking of getting the TNN Engineering Belaey Pads for £32 from Tartybikes ( http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11311&category_id=4 ), just wondering if they are any good? Cheers, Danny. Edited September 6, 2010 by dannytrialskid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Bite is pretty setup dependent though. Stan's were ridiculously grabby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Vandart Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 TR clamps+tnn belaeay pads+ sharp medium gring = WIN BRAKE mine have been awsome the past month or so Often see this mistake, I wonder why? d is 2 over from g, oh well. On Topic, TNN bealeys are excelent good bite good hold good in the wet. Rock cnc blues are better but really loud except for in dusty conditions where they are sheeeite.

Mark W Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 So best setup would be? Set up nice and square, booster if needs be, good bleed, etc. You could put Stan's exact setup on another bike and it wouldn't work as well simply because the setup of the brake is what's important. Rock blues seem to be pretty good but seem to be affected more by 'stuff', e.g. dust, dirt, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are good, just want to find better... sorta find that they don't hold too great, but they are still amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo!Man Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I've had the Belaeys for the last two weeks. At first, I rode them on a death grind, and they performed a bit better than Cousts. Then I did a harsh grind, and they are amazing, believe, but make sure your set up is nearly perfect, mine wasn't and they have already worn in the wrong way.

Mark W Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 make sure your set up is nearly perfect, mine wasn't and they have already worn in the wrong way. That's the sort of thing I meant about setup. The backings are so stiff that if your brake is set up on the piss it'll wear your pads disproportionately fast. I've seen people's brakes where they were complaining about their LGMs wearing quickly but they had a brutal grind on with their pads at a bit of an angle.

LukasMcNeal Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) I would have preferred if they didn't have the angled edges! Edited September 6, 2010 by LukasMcNeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannytrialskid Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Yeah, I think I've always had mine decent anyway. My Crocos aren't angled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Plastic backings flex more so they can be at an angle but still not show it as badly as CNC backed pads. Not implying your's are angled or anything, just saying... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo!Man Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 The backings are so stiff that if your brake is set up on the piss it'll wear your pads disproportionately fast. That's the issue. My crossover pipe didn't allow me to set up both pads perfectly squarely, and even though I changed one pad's position to prevent them to wear disproportionately, today I had a look and it has a noticeable angle.

Nick Manning Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I got some TNN Belaey pads last week. I also got a Echo SL rim for the rear, with that built up and ground (was tough to get through the paint work) and running the Belaey pads, I have to say I'm quite surprised. Mine are very quiet, with an occasional squeak, so not sounding good, however the feel is very solid and they hold really well. So though they are quiet, they are working well.
