mat hudson Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) a ground rim preferably. also for a first post that isnt bad i guess, try to use punctuation and decent enough spelling and you should be fine.arg Edited August 8, 2006 by mat hudson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I use the exact pads and I have had a brake thats mint even when I put it in a river then used it afterwards and 3 riders can vouch for that. Just ensure your using it with a properly ground rim. Welcome aboard as well. If you are struggling with spelling click the tick sign with the abc on top of it before posting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawrence osborn Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Yeah coust pads are good pads they have a sharp bite to them when they grip the rim and preferably use a medium grind with them. If you use the medium grind and coust brake pads they will work as a team and the brake will be uber! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Cousts, or if you havn't the money heatsink blue's are equally good, just a bit louder if your into that sorta thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Aston Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 I'm glad to hear more and more people are saying good things about heatsink blues seeing as iv just ordered a pair.

Biff... Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 (edited) Conor you will have no problem with either coust in cnc'd backings or Heatsink reds in cnc'd backing, i'm currently using heatsink reds and they are awsome with or without a grind, they are mega loud and stupidly good performance, i highly reccomend either of these pads you will not be dissapointed.I think coust pads will be better for the winter while using the in wet weather they just have the edge in the wet.Hope i've helped.Kyle.

Heatsink Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Great to hear quality feedback about my pads It makes everything worth while, especially since some of the pads (eg. the ones in CNCed backings) take a lot of time to precisely cut and glue so that they can go out the door with the quality being top notch. I do all this careful cutting, and assembly work myself at the moment for Coust and other pads that go in the UK machined CNCed magura/Vee backings. The blue pads are moulded at a specialist company in the UK and again I do all the glueing myself to be sure that the quality is the best it can be.To answer your question about the speed of send out, there have been delays recently of up to a week or longer. Heatsinkbikes is run on top of a fulltime job, and with me working on HSB in my evenings only to date (although not in future!) it's been susceptable to impact from family issues. I'm desperate to eliminate these delays though, so that I can not only offer great value pads, innovative pads, all British made - but also all on an immediate delivery! My current priority is on nailing this issue and I'm very close to doing this!The good news is that all pads have healthy stock levels with all pads and the 3 backing types in ample supply. I've just received a big supply of Coust pads, a new delivery of blue pads and very soon the occasional delays associated with the CNCed Vee pads will go away because I have a speedier manufacturing technique lined up. I will be sending out all delayed orders in the next couple of days. Please assume that new orders will take around 3-4 days for me to send as I start to build up stocks again of assembled pads ready to send.Thanks for your support!SteveI'm glad to hear more and more people are saying good things about heatsink blues seeing as iv just ordered a pair.
