Greetings Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I'd say Coustelliers, they're pretty much the best pads for any surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 if its a harder rim such as dx-32 then a set of plazzies! the joypads seem to work amazingly on any rim though to be honest! rock blues seem to be good on my dx-32!

ManxTrialSpaz Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I do belive this question has been answered a number of tims in NMC Best ones I've used are plazmatic CRMs, their performance seemed to have held throughout a couple of grinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Shaw Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Ive used pretty much every pad, and so far the best has to be Rock pads (ones intended for grinds). With a light sharp grind they work in all conditions. At the moment I'm using some of the new Rimjam V3 pads and they are ace in the dry on a grind, loads of bite! CRM's are also good, but not amazing in the wet.Stan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 i agree with stan, rock pads are amazing! theyre the only pads i have used that work exact same in dry as in wet... id say CMS or joypads after that, and my cousts were no where near as good as everyone made them out to be. ill have to try rims jams next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-M Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I can't really recommend any, but I can say that Koxx Bloxx Red Pads are terrible with any grind it seems, and in wet they will not work. There seems to be no bite whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be no bite whatsoever.oh lordy... koxx reds are awesome! i have run red, yellow and brown koxx compounds and they are all pretty good. browns *** probably though, followed by red.my favourite pads were the coust-sinks. lasted for ages, had bite, had hold, had sound... shame i wore them down to the backings and you cant order them at the moment (which is why i went to koxx browns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
