Delmeekc Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Let's start with the history, got my MCM5 last year and fitted the pads straight away, took them off after about half an hour as I didn't like them and they hurt my legs. Looking back now I could only just about do a mile ride at that stage so last week I thought I would give them another shot. Felt I needed some pads for better acceleration and braking since fitting the 2.5 tyre as I'd lost a bit if both and I ride in soft mode. So I did a quick mockup with some foam and double sided velcro over my existing silicon pads. Much better to ride with but as usual it changes a few things which will take a little adjustment once it's complete. It also seems to have got rid of any high speed occisilation when going fast, bonus. This then progressed to wanting something that's looked a bit better so I made a mould and the parts out of some two pack adhesive. Waiting for some more double sided tape to come before they are completed. Not perfectly symmetrical but they will pass and hopefully be complete tomorrow or Monday. I'll post the completed photos then. For now I'll show as much progress as I can starting with the foam versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delmeekc Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Missed the photo at the start with the mould cut and filed then lined with tape to hopefully give a smooth surface. (See a later shot) So I put tape on the gotway too and covered the mould in silicon grease then added the adhesive and smoothed off with a credit card. First set of filled moulds.

Delmeekc Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Other side and then both removed from the moulds, had to completely remove the mould from the gotway to get them out and them place back ready for the next set. 2nd set filled and testing the first set just to see how they look. Offered up in place to see how they fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delmeekc Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Pads being prepped for sticking to the new moulded parts, I used UHU POR on the pad first and let it dry for 15 minutes so tape actually sticks to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmeekc Posted March 7, 2020 Author Share Posted March 7, 2020 Pads fitted to moulded parts. That's it for now until the tape arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delmeekc Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 So I continued with the pads as the double sided tape finally turned up. Got them both covered using the UHU POR on the foam parts and left overnight. Both covered. Taped up the MCM5 for some reference points prior to fitment this morning. Right pad fitted. Left Pad fitted. Final results, going to leave for another day so everything sticks really good. When the pads need changing I shall remove leaving the mould's insitu. All that's left is learning how to ride with them fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
