gazzaecowarrior Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just been sent a set rear pads for my 08 Rev 4 and im sure they won't fit. Shop insist they are the ones. They are goldfren type number 228. This has happened before too with another shop. Basically the pad sent to me has it's calliper pin hole offset to the rear of the pad and not in the middle of the pad like the ones Ive used before. I don't want to open them to see if they will fit. I would be suprised if they do as the callipers piston is in the middle of the calliper like the pads I allready have in there. Anybody used them or are they tottally the wrong pads ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzralphy Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Er..... just an idea how about taking your current ones out and checking if they look the same???? Just been out to have a look - small pad with hole in the centre. Edited January 14, 2012 by NZRalphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris morris Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 pretty sure they should be 173, same as most gasgas, sherco and 4rt, its a AJP caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzaecowarrior Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Sorry No worries. Thanks for the advice on running in my new evo though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazzaecowarrior Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for all the advice. I thought they were wrong. Just annoyed as Im putting the bike for sale today as Ive bought a new evo. None of my local bike shops sell these pads so I am forced to use mail order. Will just have to wait.

outlaw dave Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 The 08 Rev 3 bikes we had in Canada had the different rear pads that you decribed - could be they changed at some point, as this is the only year we had with the offset pin hole.

keithns Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I had the pads out of my 09 EVO 4T last night (seized piston) and the hole is definately in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
