Title: Brake Pads for ACS Z rims
Post by: simo27 on January 01, 2011, 11:01 PM

Hi all
Should I only use Z pads for Z rims or would tuff pads do the job?
Simo;)

Any pads will do just make sure they're the same colour, if its a rider maybe try clear pads  :daumenhoch:

Thanks guys, I thought 'normal' pads left a mark? are the new skyway pads reissues of 80's stock or are they a new design?
Simo

I believe the vans  composite are z friendly and easy to come by.
