| Right guys, a problem we all have, what pads should i buy? Well when you are in need of a new set of pads and you are unsure as to which pad will be better. Have a look in here to find a few reviews on the pad of your choice.
Brake pad : Bite ?/10 Hold ?:10 Loud/Quiet Other pads you have tried : How do these pads compare to other pads : Plastic/CNC'd backings Rim surface : Front/Rear

| Brake pad : Coust Bite ?/10: 9/10 Hold?/10: 9/10 Life?/10 : 8/10 Loud/quiet? : Quiet with a light grind, louder with a harsh grind Other pads I've tried: Blue rock pads, Meta pads (red), Plazmatic V's, echo pads (new and old), Koxx Greens (friends), Monty Milks How do they compare? : Of all the pads I've used I enjoyed the Cousts the most. They felt similar to the Koxx Greens in my opinion. I'm very impressed with their performance in wet conditions. | |

| 1) you cant be running plastic and metal backings 2) it does make difference when metal backings are used 3) you cant be running a light grind one day and smooth the next unless you have two different rims/wheels, and you don't | |
