I've got chromed rims with some £5 ebay clear pads with coloured inserts in, the stop me alright, squeak a bit

Also have some green DC brake pads on a bike, which work ok on anno rims, but when on painted rms (nos camo sun rims) they heated up and melted to the paint!! not my best moment skidding down the big quarter at the boardroom sideways looking bewildered!!

Xposure bachelor pads :daumenhoch:
x2 They make that horrid squeak, but work very well indeed :daumenhoch: They are clear with choice of colour inserts, so green shouldn't be a problem ;)

also reguarly clean your rims with window cleaner, makes a world of difference, u get so much dust and dirt on em over time

100% Eagle II Kool Stop Salmon's if you can pick them. Best pad on the market for alloy rims :daumenhoch:

Post by: Betty on April 07, 2012, 06:06 PM: The squeaky clear ones are good, bit on the noisy side though

Good enough to do tyre taps on me old Dirtbike (pitbull brake)

Linear cables make a big difference to stopping power :daumenhoch:
