Title: Pads like these?
Post by: Joe on October 17, 2011, 03:40:37 PM

Right, I need new pads.

Anyway, the pads I really want are mordant ultralites, but £80 is a bit steep. So I came across these on Alibaba which are rather similar

and

now I don't really want to buy 12 pairs at £21 each, keep one pair and flog the rest on ebay, and so does anyone have or know of any place to get ones like those shown?

I don't know of any place, but I'd like a pair, so if we can find 10 more people we're on to a winner.

I can get pads like these made up cheap enough. If there is enough interest then I can have them inside the next 4 weeks

yeah mate all the ones on online stockist are more like the cheaper version of the ultralites - I don't know what they're called, and they are no good for me.

I am very interested johnnyw! what sort of prices are we looking at?

which ones? i quite like the cloth covered ones but am not a fan of the other moulded ones.

Title: Re: Pads like these?
Post by: thedon on October 17, 2011, 06:24:19 PM

The cloth ones. The only problem is you cant wear them when its wet/damp as they get dirty and its a nightmare to clean. I might get the moulded ones too for the wet.

I might be able to get them £45. Just need confirmation from my supplier

For 45 quids you will get 2 pairs and a half; when bought from some other sources 45 will get you more than 3  ;)

You are forgetting the cost of shipment from India adds a large expense and also paying for customs.
