just thought if anyone needs any new brake pads and wondering what are good, i just bought some new Demolition ones from Custom Riders.....they come in black, White and clear for really stickyness. i bought some white ones for £4.99 i think and they grip like poop to a blanket! highly recomend them if anyone needs new pads :daumenhoch:
-
they sound mint, had i known you could have picked me up a pair of clears! ;)
what are they like pricewise?
i'm never paying £25 for heatsinks again :(
-

nice :)
ive never seen a stanard pad supplied with a brake that isnt complete carp
any squealing problems ?
how well do they wear ?
-
no squeeling issues but i've only had them a few days, so can't tell how well they wear yet........but at £5 a throw it's not too expensive to replace them
-
i jsut got the kool stop eagle 2s cos someone recommended them, anybody had any experience of these? cheers :daumenhoch:
-
yeah they're pretty good to Dave :daumenhoch:
-
i got some on order with my lbs :daumenhoch:
-
they're cool mate! well they hold the rear wheel well with my fat arse on the bike so they must be okay :LolLolLolLol:
-
i want a disc brake on the back like my mtb! :tickedoff:
-
No! you're kidding right?
-
i'd love it. :crazy2:
-
you wouldn't want the back of your leg coming down on that disc though would ya when you stack it! :shocked: slice your muscle in two!!
-
used them for years on mtbs!
i guess they would be a git on the ickle bike
-
yeah i've used em for years to on the MTB but on a BMX i think the disc would be too near the back of your leg if you stack it! mybe not though??
-
i think they'd just bend on coping and stuff thinking about it :yahoo_silent:
-
Hydrolic cables could be an issue with a gyro too :LolLolLolLol:
-
<FACT!> :tickedoff:
-
When I went to the Nissan jumps at Tate the other week there was a bike with a Hydraulic gyro, spoke to the rider and he said the only thing is it stiffens the headset up and need more effort for whips? :shocked:
-
a hydrolic gyro?!?! surely that can't be done?? sure it wasn't a mechanical disc brake? although i'm guessing as you asked him you actually saw it up close and personal :-\
-
they do have them pickle.its a slopestyle thing(it looks wrong trying bmx stuff on a mtb)
-
Ive seen pics of cable operated disc brakes on bmx's with a gyro , but i cant see how a hydraulic one would work ?
