monkeyseemonkeydo Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 I know this isn't very useful but I wouldn't bother with EBC reds. I tried some on my Hayes and they worked ok for about a week then fell apart. As far as disc brakes go, I've always found the manufacturers own are always the best. Get some Hope replacements and save some £'s. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a set of Red ones in my old C2 and the ammount of difference in power, well! i would compare it to going from magura Black std pads to Plazmatic sticky pads on a hs33!! but they did wear down a fair bit quicker... But who cares about that with disks, you only change the std pads once a year anyway! Ry :- Ps. Try ringing EBC! get the phone number for the Cars brakes dept, and ask them for the pushbike dept number... or ask hope if they have the number!

picki Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 i aked and found that ebc no longer make 'reds' for single pot discs or dual pots... they make them for 4 pot and above i believe :- ebc need a trials specific disc pad... if not ebs ...some one else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Just a question about the new trial disc brake - which pads does that use and are they the same size as the mini mono ones ? ? ? ? My pads are buggered you sees...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
