balfa Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Another shout for Plazmatics. Have used with and without tar. Is fine for my needs without tar. Just make sure your rim is clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsychem Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 ZOO pads ***,Or alternatively you can get a grind? There are so many more pads which work their best with a grind and no tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Anything is fine with tar as the pad doesnt really make contact with the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowman12 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 I have a pair of rocks on a smooth rim but told there better with a grind. Also the koxx browns are good so I here.You told me you were running GREEN rocks which are made for smooth rims. Of course they will be better on a grind, but they will last about a day of hard riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
