trials hoe Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 The 70a ones i made work rather well (smooth rim) imo sure i posted a couple of pairs out some where maybe, getting all the air out is a pain! also still need a mould too just been making blocks and cutting it in a bodge of straight edges and g-clamps and trying not to slice myself open haha. Anyone's welcome to a set of my offerings should they want some 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Blackpool rock pads? not really,i just wanted to give em this "crash test" look and had no yellow marker haha if anyone has some old metal backings laying around i´d more than apprechiate them for the mould i´ll probably get someone to 3d laserprint me one Edited April 25, 2014 by FamilyBiker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyBiker Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 yeeeeessss,i got it right,yaaaay!!!!!!!!1!!!one! rode down the street a few minutes ago,bedding in the proto pads,with a sudden "honk" sound in my ears and a thought: "why the f*ck do these selfmade pads outperform my cousts i rode just an hour ago,without even being bedded in???" i´m having a beer now,i so totally deserve a few! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) update:first proper ride with the new compound. maggie 05,2 bolt booster,echo clamps,echo backings.my pads. needed a few more drags to bed in,then honked right away.they now make a sound like an elephant thats being castrated without narcotica,bite is amazing(best ever for me),hold is pretty good considering the state my rim´s in,dead grind with a slight rest of old tar. slipped once on an edge i jumped on the wrong way intentionally,but only a few mm. does anyone need some 1/3 worn cousts,i have no use for other pads than my compound anymore. next plan:cnc guy makes bigger mould,pads galore!
