Blake Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 (edited) Hello! Basically I would like to know if it's absolutely adamant that you use one of the recommended adhesives in the little tnn book that comes with refills? I was planning on using gorilla glue or will this not work? Thanks in advance Edited December 11, 2011 by DrStix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I think any decent super glue will do the trick. The Locite that they quote is obviously the stuff they use which will meet various standards (well above what you will likely require) that need to be met when selling a brake pad.

Mark W Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I've had a pad come out (original Coust material - check me out) before 'cos I did a shit-poor job of cutting and glueing it and nothing bad really happened. But yeah, the fit on TNN pads and backings is usually really, really good so any normal superglue will probably be ample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 Most super glues will do the job fine. Our "loctite" glue is flexible so the adhesion last a bit longer. I know of riders who do not glue their refill in and have not had issues. Although I high recommend glue. The cavities in the backings are 4mm deep and as long as you don't set up your pads that far away from the rim. It's near impossible for the pads to come out of the backing.

I was planning on using gorilla glue or will this not work? Thanks in advance Being new I assume this is all about fitting refils in to brakes? Just incase you dont know Loctite comes in many different forms and its best to use the corrcet one for each job. http://www.loctite.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/henkel_uke/hs.xsl/homepage.htm Its fantastic stuff when you use the correct one. I have two in the shed, one allows you to dissassemble things the other you have no chance unless you heat it to 800C Most superglues are not water proof, so once it starts to get wet it can degrade, depending on which one use use.

N.Wood Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 when you glue them do you put them in a vice or just leave them? Matt. I put mine in a vice just to hold them together, but not squeezing the shit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
