ssss Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I'm getting a pair of custom axis 2 pads, and I'm switching from ultrasonics. The question is, on the axis 2's, should I get speedskin or emboss(weave) on the sliding surfaces? I'll probably have to add snowseal either way to come close to the smooth sliding of bauers (Single tear). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroGravitas Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Emboss. I have Axis 2 with emboss and they slide noticeably better than my EF4 with SS. Could try putting 3M tape on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teezle Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 I am very happy I went with emboss (weave) on my axis2 set. They slide great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbototts Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Emboss. SS is durable but slides terribly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to finally get on the ice tonight for the first time since adding 3M tape to the weave sliding surface of my EF5's, but they were already good sliding pads. My EF4's were dogshit.

mr_shifty1982 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 CCM tests these pads and I'm pretty sure that speed skin came on top which is also what I went with. Not having any issues sliding around with it or lack there of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
