I'm looking to upgrade my mags instead of buying new brakes this season. I was looking at goodridge lines and goodridge brake pads. Has anyone tried these brake pads out and how do they work? Thank you.
goodridge?

i haven't used the pads, but the lines are superb.
I forgot to tell you that the Goodridge lines are brand new. Not that many people have had the chance to us them. The latest edition of dirt says that they are great power pads, and mixed with their lines make for an awsome bike.
thats what im looking for
do u want to let me see that dirt and read it. i missed that article i guess
how about a hmmmmmm..... SEARCH. I donno but that was my thinking
goodridge lines have been round for years, Ive had mine for over a year, best upgrade for shimano brakes without question.
The frame has been on order for over a month, the fork is getting ordered tomaro, and wheels get ordered in a week or 2 then it should go together quickdhkid said:

according to a friend of mine approx 0,01 % increase in power = it dosent matter
Goodridge lines don't feel great with saint. You lose alot of feeling and about as much modulation with them on. They are simply too much.FastTimes said:
They make a humongous difference on the older shimanoes however, as well as hayes, etc.
so if there isnt much info out about the goodridge pads what is another strong long lasting pad for hayes mags?
Not EBC reds? I've actually been running a high-bred combo of one EBC red and one stock Hayes. Seems to work pretty good and extends the set of EBC pads. I might have to look into the Galfers...Kanter said:
Oh yeah, to the point of the thread, I'm running Hayes Mags (danger boy levers) with the Goodridge lines...awesome combo and noticeable difference between the stock lines, especially on the rear brake. The front? Not so much.
would upgrading my mags be more beneficial then buying another set of brakes and then selling mine?
Lets do the math. Saint brakes $300. and selling your hayes $125. So the brakes would cost you around $175. Upgrading your brakes $100 for goodridge lines, 30 for better pads. So when adding these to gether you would spend $130 on upgrade. Yes it would be a better deal by 45 dollars.
yea good point, but would there be the same power and modulation with the upgrades?
has anyone used the goodridge w/ juicy 7?
