Winmax

Anyone running these pads care to give me a review of them. I need new pads and can't make up my mind what to get.....sooooooooooooooo freaking many choices.

I run them. I DD mostly but theyve been great for the occasional mountain run. I haven't been hard enough on them to comment on the increased heat thresholds of them, so I can't help you there. But definitely an upgrade from stock. I use the W2's.

Got them from CounterSpace Garage @CSG David

Looking to upgrade. I've looked into the winmax pads. Mike helped me with the ones he thought I should get. Just wanted to get some customer feedback as far as fade, dust, noise and general feel.

I use W2 for DD/autoX. no dust, slight squeal for initial bite, better than OEM stoppage, but not excessive. I am very pleased with them.

Maybe if you tell us which ones you are looking at people can give you a better review. Are you looking to DD/Canyon W4? Track the W3? Autox W1? DD an enduro compund?
