Well my 7up rim was destroyed vary fast by clear pads.
Now ever since I swaped out to a black rim and slim by 4 pads there's not a spec of paint missing
And time wise the clear pads and 7up wheel was 50% paint less.....
And my black animal RS wheel is 100% fresh.. Well pad wear speeking lol. I got a nice nic in it from a rock or something lol
Oo yea they were éclat clear pads

Never took a pic. Nothing new. Brake pads have their moments. Clears are great for fronts
A sight for sore eyes to the blind would be awful majestic. It would be the most beautiful thing that they ever had seen. It would cause such surprise, it would make all of their minds electric. How could anyone tell them that some things are not what they seem?

Ok yup then I am really thinking of some one else!! Lol
Yea but really.. Clear pads are a trend.
Just like extremely loud rear hubs... Why what is the point besides being trendy and annoying... It's like a hipster thing for bmx be as loud and bug as many people as posable.... No thinks I'll pass.
I still wear all black...no crazy colors Johnny cash's style will never fad nore make it big. Crazy colors loud hubs and stupid clear pads will be out the door and some new trend will take its place.

Because ratchet hubs franking suck. I love my profiles. Id like a frame that can fit 36 13 so I can run super loud Chris king hubs.
1 pedal to her 3. All she does is talk about how she wants MY wheels

Chris kings smallest is 12. not into fbms these days. Maybe if Dave still welded for them. Either way a certain frame will come out at some point leaving me to stick with 30/28 10 or I get a custom s&m and get CKs
My cw is perfect till then and will just replace her Sunday

Re: Best new school brake pads to use on gold rims?
i run clear pads on the back of my retro condor and they work killer with a blue haro rim. when i was riding the mega ramp at woodward west at the reunion, you could hear my brake check rite away. lol. i ripped a pad on chrome rims, so i dont recomend them.
