Post by: harris on October 10, 2012, 06:31 PM: newer skyway pads work reasonably well the long thin ones,but as most mention not much is that good.

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on October 10, 2012, 06:44 PM: I have some Kool Stop Salmon's but the Z'ds are white so wanted to try using some white pads. I know they will go black with whatever pads I use but, not as fast with white ones :D

Post by: Peter J on October 10, 2012, 08:04 PM: Clear ones :-\

I use to ride these with my yellow Z's and found them to stop me about half a mile after braking :LolLolLolLol: Maybe they didn't bed in enough :-\ I will see if I can pick up some white ones bro and give them a go :daumenhoch:

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on October 10, 2012, 10:39 PM: Peter/John,

I didn't really want the clear ones as they interfere with GPS satellites under braking :crazy2: :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Glynnyboy on October 11, 2012, 09:35 PM: Acs work, the vans do to and as already mentioned the clear sticky pads too.
Nothing will stop a grown man dead though. Unless you put disc brake mounts on :)
