Skyway Pads Vs Dia Compe Pads

Hi,

Could all you experts out there tell me if it is o.k to use Dia Compe Black Pads on Skyway Black Wheels?

If I managed to find some original Old School Black Tuff Pads this would cost a small fortune  :( (anyone got 8 - how much?  :P), the new Skyway Pro Pads would not look right on an Old School BMX.

Would the Dia Compes mark, also are they safe to use on this type of wheel?

Thank You

Are you going to be riding it  ???

Some factory bikes BITD came with Tuff or Zs & Dia Compe brake blocks  :)

They will work, but are not even good with the correct Skyway Brake Pads  ::)

I'm no expert but IMO I reckon you'd be better to buy the newer Skyway pads (made by koolstops) or Koolstops themselves if you are going to ride it and you actually want to stop as OS brake pads are useless  ;)

Koolstop Continental grey pads, work fantastic and are old school too  :daumenhoch:

Would Grey Kool Stops mark the Black Skyways?
