joaovidal12 Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 Greetings, I want to change pads and I narrowed my choice to TNN LGM or Heatsinks Yellows CNC or TNN ADM. I have done my research on here, but some posts were from 2012 and compounds may changed a bit. Performance wanted: On/off feel and good hold. My rear setup: Magura 2004 with TNN clamps and integrated booster. Echo TR double wall rim (I think it is) I will give a fresh grind to my rim, but the pads will enconter most of the time a light to dull grind. What should I get?

Mark W Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 From my own experience the Heatsinks have a lot of bite, but the TNN pads have more hold. I ran LGMs for a while and found they worked really well, although from seeing other reviews it sounds like the ADM pads might be better for you if you don't grind all that often.

jnthebiker Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I love my TNN ADM pads. If I were you I'd go with a set of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndeeeMK2 Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Heatsink yellows are good nice bite, hold and loud noise to em! TNNs are good at the start but i found the ADMs lost the magic to em... LGMs are good especially smooth rim n tar! Am loving CNC Rockman Blues at the moment on the rear ! Rockman rim with a harsh as f*ck grind and Jitsie clamps... The brake is a 05 magura with a 4 finger lever Edited June 10, 2015 by AndeeeMK2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'd always ran cousts or yellows on my brakes, but in running adm's on the rear and lgm's on the front of my crewkerz. Couldn't get the adm's to work in my echo 24' but on this they work spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm running cousts at the moment but don't rate them at all. Going for a pair of ADMs front and rear on sharp light grinds next time I have some money spare. Found they've been the best all round pad for me in the past. TR clamps and try all rims, Racing Line lever units with Magura slaves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I've always sworn by yellows on Echo rims, always had the best performance with that combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culshaw95 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Heatsink Yellows work well with and without a grind giving a fairly decent bite. ADM's work best as a front brake in my opinion as i've tried them rear and they work well for the first 1mm or 2 of the pad. LGM's are one of my favourite pads. great hold, doesn't kill a grind too quick great front or rear. Cousts are amazing but kill grinds too quick so if you dont mind grinding your rim a lot then they're highly recommended but Heatsink Yellows and LGM's do the job perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanted to glue them into my TNN backings. I put the yellows in instead and am curious on how they work on my ECHO SL rim.
