dann2707 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 I'd say cousts or maybe the Tnn greens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harmertrials Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 All this real coust stuff is a load of rubbish. Order direct from heatsink. Best pads by a mile. Tnn are good but not a touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Heatsink cousts are real cousts! Only reason Heatsink now sell cousts is that the 'real' cousts had an unsafe amount of material in the backings (too little) but if your that stubborn you could talk to Jack Meek as he often has 'real' cousts for sale.

Before i fitted my 'real' Cousts a few different people have tried to pull them out the backings and nobody has managed to do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Exactly. I changed my cousts into metal backings today purely because the plastics were flexing in the slave which led to the ends of the pads wearing faster than the middles and they took a stonking amount of effort to remove. Had to have them in the oven for 10 mins on the hottest setting and even at that they still required effort to pull out of the backing. In there absolutely solid.

Jake. Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Heatsink Cousts. I did offer for you to try out my cousts for a week to see if you prefer them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeee Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) Tnn's are doggerz. I couldn't trust mine as far I could throw them. Heatsink for the win by the far. Heatsink seem to be perform better and quicker for bedding in. Where as majority of people I have come across who have owned tnn pads seem to spend more time fannying around with em than riding with them. Plus Steve at heatsink offers a very good and friendly quick after sale service. Edited July 6, 2012 by Andeee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Maybe he changed the amount of pad material in the backing now? How old were your 'real' cousts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Wait for the TNN Blacks if you can. Good call, I gave a set of these to a very good rider for testing and he's reported back saying they're by far the best pads he's used, much better than Belaey's or LGM's even.

trials26 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) heatsink cousts Have tried both, would choose heatsinks hands down The grind has worn down on my rim loads to dead really and they still hold incredibly. TNN greens are great but seem to be high maintenance in my opinion, also my cousts seem to be very quiet which i much prefer.

The best way of finding out stuff is by trying it out... I found out I liked an Echo 24 by trying his bike, not through reviews and feedback.

I reccomend tnn backings with coust material cut to fit by Steve directly. Much snugger fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hence why I told him to try out my pads when he gets his lgms to see which he prefers and so i can see how much better cousts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
