As demanded by the UK trials scene, PHATWORKS are proud to announce our new PHATVEES!

Featuring our excellent PHATPAD material in an all-new Vee backing, PHATVEES result in braking performance that’s nothing short of excellent.

A unique washer system further reduces the thickness of your setup by allowing the washer to sit recessed into the backing, allowing for a more parallel, stronger brake.

Superb tolerances mean the material and backings provide a fit that is easy to install and replace without glue, but won’t come out whilst riding!

The slimlined 6mm thick backings reduce weight and allow for wide-trials rims to easily be used.

Note: PHATPADS work at their best when installed with a fresh, rough grind, and must be set up squarely to the rim for the best performance. However braking power continues to be excellent as the pads and grind wear down! Do give the pads time to wear to the rim. (They’ll lose the glossy surface texture when fully bedded in)

As part as our fondness for open-source information, PHATWORKS brake pads use the original Magura pad fitting size, and may fit other manufacturers backings. Please contact us for advice if you wish to use backings other than our own.

Because our pads are engineered to such high tolerances, glue is not required for fitting or replacing your PHATPADS in our PHATMAG or PHATVEE backings. This does mean you need to be careful when installing or removing wheels as this may prise the material from the backings.
