ilikeriding Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 (edited) Why would you want to do it clockwise?, wouldnt you want the notches to face upwards so it works equally when putting it on forwards and backwards Edited August 23, 2007 by afroman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Why would you want to do it clockwise?, wouldnt you want the notches to face upwards so it works equally when putting it on forwards and backwardsIf you do it clockwise the notches "face" different directions on each side of the rim. Meaning good forwards and backwards grip. Having the notches facing upwards doesn't really improve the bite of the brake but does make the pads wear down faster.

Ash-Trials Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hey Kris i added your video to my favourites about 2 week ago!And i grinded my rims just as you did and it helped me alot.Although i didn't do it deep enough, and it wore off in about a days riding. No doubt I'll be trying again...Thanks!Ash~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 If you want it to last longer lean onto it with your shoulder more and try to sweep across the rim faster. This'll put deeper grooves into it that should keep you going for a good 4-6 weeks or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
