How do they compare to Hope 'soft' pads? Are those similar, better, equal or more like the regular Hope pads. Are they a upgrade or a replacement?

Hi Felix - these pads are very good indeed. Better, even than the Hope Pro pads. They are a very soft compound so have an incredible "bite". They are an upgrade from the Hope pads. Thanks, Flipp.
Hi do you still need to bed the pads in with water after getting them hot or are the ready to go as being a softer compound.

Hi Reece - thanks for your question. The best way to bed disc brake pads in is riding along and pulsing the brake on for a second, off for a second, and repeating this for around 10 minutes. It is important not to get the pads too hot as doing so can glaze them over. After this process they will still not be fully bed in, but they will provide a more than functional brake and they will bed in the rest of the way whilst riding normally. Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.

Hi Michael - thanks for your question. Changing pads and rotors at the same time is the best choice, but if the rotors are working perfectly and have no oil on them you can use new pads with it. If the rotor has any oil at all on it you should change rotors - no matter how much you clean them, there will always be some oil left on it which will get into your pads and contaminate them. Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.
I use the Jitse pads in the rear and love them. Which pads would you recommend for the front? I ride street trials and use the front brake for general braking as well as front end manuvers; any pad that better resists glazing over under those circumstanses?

Hi Peter - thanks for your question. We'd recommend the Jitsie pads for the front brake, too. They might feel a lot more bitey to start with, making getting the modulation you are accustomed to difficult, but you will adjust very quickly - even within one ride. The Jitsie pads tend not to glaze because of how soft they are. If you are experiencing slipping brakes making a lot of noise, it is unfortunately a lot more likely that the pads are contaminated. Hope that helps. Thanks, Flipp.
I recently bought these Jitsie pads and the stopping power was immense. I've never had anything like it. They made my hope brakes 10x better than they already where. But after a few days into riding the pads started squealing an ear splitting noise. They just seemed to let the wheel run through them while making the noise. This made me think that somehow I must have got the pads contaminated so I cleaned them up and the rotor using petrol then soapy water. And purchased some more Jitsie pads (my second pair) hoping to get the same power as I did with the first ones. Within a few hours of running them tonight it has started making the horrible loud noise again and the wheel seems to slip. What should I do? I've spent £30 in the past week on pads and nothing has worked Thanks Jack

Hi Jack - thanks for your question. It does sound like your pads are contaminated unfortunately. Using petrol to clean a rotor doesn't really work with push bikes. Motorbikers do it because they then burn off all the oils in the petrol, but bicycle rotors never get hot enough to do that. The best solution would unfortunately be a new rotor and pads. That is the only way to guarantee the complete removal of contaminants. Before doing that, it would be worth thoroughly cleaning the rotor with methylated spirits (which leaves no residue), and sanding the top layer off the pads. If they are still not working as they should after this, then from our experience they never will. Contaminants "sink" into the metal of the rotor in the same way they do the pads, so getting contaminated often means the end of their life. Sorry about that! Thanks, Flipp.
i live at the top of a big hill and it is about a mile of downhill into my town is it likely that these pads will glaze over easily from riding down

Hi Luke - thanks for your question. These pads tend not to glaze, but rather dragging the brake at high speed for a period of time will wear off the top surface of the pads, and performance will decrease until the brake has been used 'normally' again a few times. Thanks, Flipp.
Do you know if the Hope Mono Trial pads will fit in the old Hope Mini callipers. They look similar, just with rounded corners at the top!? Thank you Tim

Hi Tom - Unfortunately, the Mono Trials pads don't fit the Mini calipers, sorry! The piston size is 5mm larger in the Mono Trial caliper so the pad itself is quite a lot bigger than the Mini. Theoretically you could cut/grind the pad down to fit but we wouldn't recommend doing so! Thanks, Mark
Hi, Do you know if these pads will fit Magura MT6 and if not do you have any other pads in stock that do? Thanks for your help, James.
