ooo Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hi, I need some advice, the rain is making my brake setup rubbish so Im going to grind my rims this week. My question is really whats you favourite booster and pad setup for rain/ winter weather. I would appreciate it if you could give me specific makes and models. Budget isn't really an issue but value for money is, also im not too bothered about pad wear time, just that they work really well.

isitafox Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Seriously though, have a read through here. My vote goes to heatsink yellows or LGM's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybs41282 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 A four bolt booster should offer extra hold, I use a trial tech 4 bolt and it works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 A grind, LGMs or Koxx browns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 You'll never get a proper conclusive answer dude... but my vote goes to Coust pads ( ones from trialprod/ coust bros, they just seem to work better for me ) or as Nick says Koxx browns.

J.KYDD Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Onza Cirtus pads (yellows) are amazing in the wet. Mind you, my 'real' cousts have proved to be very impressive when the riding gets damp. Was also impressed by a freinds TNN Beleay pads on a recent wet ride where his bike ended up in the river, twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 whatever pad you end up buying a sharp grind is important plus a booster helps too. FYI I'd choose Belaey's in the wet over LGMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 What no one seems to take into consideration is that people use different rims with same pads. I for example, can't get uber breaks on Trialtech Sport rim. I think somebody posted the same a while back. I would to hear best break set up for Trialtech Sport. Not just any set up.

isitafox Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I run a trialtech sport on the rear, I've used both LGM's and HS yellows in CNC backings on it with a medium grind (I think, I'm crap at grinds), TNN clamps and trialtech 2 bolt booster. On a fresh grind the LGM's were brilliant but as the grind faded so did the brakes, my yellows though are still running strong. I've found they work on any rim condition though on a medium grind on an Echo TR rim they are immense, shifted the LGM's onto a light grind on the front though and they are awesome!

TrialsIsHard Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Onza Cirtus pads (yellows) are amazing in the wet. Are you joking? I have a set up front at the moment, and they are the most dangerous thing you can put on a bike. It's like riding brakeless, but you don't know when it's going to hold or not! Edit: And that's in the dry! on a medium grind! Edited December 6, 2011 by TrialsIsHard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 I'm using an RB designs 4 bolt booster, never slipped and i'm always riding in the rain using onza lime pads (recomended for dry weather)!! Also a sharp grind helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
