and a review

Zoo pads don't like to work in the winter, just the moisture messes them up. I have them on front with smooth echo 07, dont work for s**t unless they have ben ridin in(drag the brake to clear the surface of rim).

Like I said on msn Scott I think you should put the louise back on just for the winter.

Acctully, I said to you I was going to put it on

But i agreed so really i said you should.
