MMMM....new stuff arrived today..



Just got my order in yesterday. I ordered through AG, and recieved everthing in three days. Got free shipping on top of 10% off. Talk about a sweet deal.

So do you think these Cyclo pads will work well with my PC? I searched alot and decided to go with these 4 inch pads instead of trying to work with the 6 inch pads I have been using. I will use these with OHC, OC, and OP. I think a rotary will be in my distant future but I am hoping these pads amp up the correction factor using the PC. Just thought I would share.

Wow, do you really use that many white and greens in 4 inch? I have 2 orange and 2 yellow in that size for correction. If you are using white it's usually with a fine polish and I have never really fit green in my corrections.

That being said, the 4" pads are much better for correcting. However, remember that the PC/UDM has its limitations. Also, when using those be a little more carefull than bigger pads, IT IS possible to burn paint with a PC/UDM and 4 inch pads.

Good Luck!

the cyclo pads will work fine with the PC as long as you have the correct backing plate, in which the picture shows you do...

I don't know, I have never used 4 inch pads with my PC before. They were the cheapest when you bought them in packs of six through AG.
Yeah someone said you can burn through paint using the 4 inch pads. I will have to pay a little more attention the first time I use them. I am hoping these will help take most of the defects out of my rides. Thanks for the tip!!

Cool..... The backing plate I ordered was a 3.5 inch LC. It goes right out to the edge of the velcro of the pads. TOTL sells a 4 inch plate which I thought would be better at holding the pads, but after I see how this one lines up, I think the 4 inch one would only get in the way more.

Re: MMMM....new stuff arrived today..

man, AG has so many products that I forgot about Cyclo pads. Had I known I might have picked up some of that 4" wool. My order for 4 inch pads should be arriving this afternoon, but I got the LC CCS 4" pads.

They look like they will work fine and considering the color of the pad seems to coincide with the function and color of LC's, I wouldn't be surprised if those are relabeled LC pads. I'm sure someone else could chime in.
