Tony Harrison Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Depends how good you want your brakes to be. Mine both use plaz Spanish Fly pads on chrome rims, and the braking performance is amazing. No, they're not as good as my trials brakes which have ground rims, but then you don't need super grabby brakes on a BMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Lee Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Kool stops are about £5 or £6 a pair and salmons are designed for a chrome rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I tried plaz V pads and they fell apart after a couple of weeks. I'm currently using the Koolstop ones that come with FlyBikes brakes on a chrome rim and it feels fine.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backgren Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 that truck is bloody massive in your sig. and to encourage anyone to run over bunnys on trials-forum is not very clever... sorry 'bout not adding anything to the bmx brakepad topic.

BONGO Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 i used to ride for plaz, ridin the spanish fly's. They are awesome pads. f**king top But i now ride for heatsink. I am ridin the heatsink V's. don't go of on one saying "oh of course he would say to buy them if he rides for them"I'll be honest, heatsink don't have anymore power than plaz. I have never said they do. BUT they have about exactly the same power i'd say as plaz, with the benefit of having a metal backing which makes the pad a lot stiffer. Plaz are squidgy.I'd go with the heatsinks as you have equal power as the plaz, with the added stiffness. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
