Now on closeout! Heatsink released new V2 backings which will be on the way soon!
Top quality Alumium CNCed backings - The perfect finishing touch to a well specced bike.
Rigid Aluminium geometry based on the design and testing work of Swedish rider Robert Janson, eliminates the backing flex experienced with conventional plastic backings.
Reduced pad roll compared to conventional plastic backings, helping to minimise uneven wear.
Robust enough to be used time and time again using relatively cheap Heatsink refills, meaning cheaper braking in the long run.
Rigid Alu backing means that making very cheap refills by hand is safer than compared with using plastic backings.. The difficulty of using plastic backings is getting a tight enough fit for the glue to bond, whilst not too tight that the plastic backing bows. An Aluminium backing allows extra tight fits without any backing deformation, so giving you peace of mind that your pads will stay in place.
Pads are a snug fit, and we recommend only a small dab of superglue in the base of the backing for peace of mind. (Although we've been running ours with no glue for ages!) Superglue has the benefits that it's quick drying, very strong for tight fits, and easy to clean up using nail varnish remover.
Refurbishable o-ring clip for attachment to brake piston.
CNCed in the UK from top quality billet 6082-T6 (HE30) Aluminium.
Your favourite Magura Trials pads from other brands can also be fitted.This is the backing ONLY. Pads/refills available separately.
