Review
These didnt start off that great for me until i talked to a few riders about what could be wrong. All i ended up doing was cutting 3 large X's across the face of the pad about 1mm deep with a hacksaw. I havent looked back since. The X's help push away dirt and water from the rim so these pads are amazing in any weather! I will never buy any other pad set again

these are awesome pads! i'd always thought tar was the way to go, but without tar these babbies grip like nobody's business. i miss the "trials squeal" from tar, but i'm good!

One of the other reivews about putting 3 X's on the face of the pad helps to wick away water and other things that might compromise the performance of the pad.

been riding ever since spring got here and school ended, and there's almost no wear!

i'm thoroughly impressed!

Review
These are the best pads that I have used so far! Monty pads that I used to use dent to wear very quickly with ground rim. These BLOXX seem to last for ages with any kind of braking surface.
It works best on ground rim but will be very powerful with tar too.

Everybody who I know to use these pads have liked them very much.

Best pads so far. Next I will get pair of RimJam pads just for experimenting.
