Title: Best brake blocks for me Zytecs?
Post by: pickle on October 23, 2006, 11:44 AM
Hi all.......i've got some white copy tuff pads but they don't do a dam thing!

What's the best to get?

I know they never work as good on tuffs/Zytecs as they do on rims but there must be something??

Well I always found the os dia compe pads better than the tuff pads, could never get the tuff pads to work properly, I only bought them because Skyway spouted a load of shite saying that any other block would damage the rim...load of shite

I've always used skyway pads with no problems.  I have freestyle ones at the mo and they are very good. Mind you though, they were £20 which I thought was a bit steep.

Copy pads were always very poor.  I recall from BITD though that z-rim pads were good.  I think I have a very worn old white pair somewhere if you want to try them.
