Laurence--Trials Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'm looking for some new HS33 pads which will be used on a dead grind probably with tar and was considering some echo TR orange brake pads as someone was selling them on the forum, anyone used them before? or should they be avoided? if they should, suggest/offer me some pads, don't have alot of money though.

Sam T Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Heatsink blues, smooth rim and no tar is an amazing set up. Any pads will work with tar exept phat pads, they just tend not to work regardless your set up lol. Heatsink yellows work very well on a dead grind as well.

I was going to ask the same question. I've heard Heatsink Snowys are decent on smooth rims and in both dry and wet conditions, anyone got experience with them? I ask because I seem to keep getting caught out in the rain. My old blacks are useless in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurence--Trials Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Has anyone actually tryed the echo pads? I only have about £10 so can't buy new.. Maybe heatsink blues/yellows are something to try in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Get hold of some old Zoo! pads. There's a guy on here who sells them, I can't remember the name but a quick search in for sale should see you right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenmx50 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I have used rockman greens on a smooth rim which are fairly good, now using heatsink yellows on a dead grind and they are much better (been told they are also ace on a smooth rim), and the wear rate is miles better than the rockman greens! as said above any pad on a smooth rim (without tar) in the rain = fail!

davidbarr Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Stupid question I know but, what is a dead grind? Apologies for being a noob. A grind that has been used for a while and lost it's life. Therefore, you won't get as good brake performance as you would with a fresh grind.

Grant-MacD Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Heatsink Yellows! I have them on the front with a dead grind with a hint of tar and they work beast and work just as well for me on the back with a smooth rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
