Matthew62 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm not to sure what would be an ideally suited pad to run on a front magura, with my Ex721 CD. I unfortunately had to use a rimjam blue (as it was all i had), and its being destroyed pretty quickly. I want something of a reltively hard compound, as my front brake is my stopping brake for when i'm out and about on the bike. Would the heatsink pads that are available on their site at the moment be a good choice, i've never been able to try these pads, are the Koxx Bloxx Browns harder than these? Any useful suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Magura blacks are perfect at both ends on ceramic rims :blink: I have been running that setup ever since I got ceramics and they have served me perfectly throughout B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Just a quick question back at you Matthew - which rim do you have? A 721CD, or a 721 Ceramic? Theres a bit of conflict between your title, and the thread, thats all! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Magura blacks are perfect at both ends on ceramic rims ← I used to run standard black pads on CD rims and they were fine. Also you could try the red Koolstop pads. For wet weather use I find that a grind is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Logan-Price Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 koxx bloxx reds very good pads (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 the heatsink honigs/konigs that are soft compound would do, i know on the back with grinds and dragging the brake on they may wear out but on the front i rekon they will be awesum!!!!! akrigg has got some on the front of his bike at mo and his brake is lethal!!!!not a harsh grind but just enough to throw you over the bars!!! Waynio.................... without a grind they would be awesum too me thinks specially on a CD rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio.................... without a grind they would be awesum too me thinks specially on a CD rim ← Thanks a lot, i was thinking along the heatsink lines, as the extra pad length would be nice as im using Koxx Forxx, and with the Mavic rim, its just a couple of mm's wider than i'd like, so with the heatsinks it should sort that out. By the way, are you using the new 2005 levelboss with the sideways 'V' shaped seatube? Cheers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Hey, I've just put a limited number of the Honig pads on a 1/2 price sale because we're currently doing more testing for future compounds to increase the wear life. If you're quick you can grab a bargain (Y) The info is on my website. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas I was beaten to it, so I wont say it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted August 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Cheers, thanks alot for the heads up. I've just ordered a couple of sets. I've only got a light grind on the back, so i may well try some on the back to. I look forward to seeing/trying the new ones. Cheers again.
