steve@banbury-trials Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 some light grind pads like rock pads might work ok,but giving the rim a regrind will be the best thing to do.maybe invest in some heatsink reds in cnc'd backings,they are a very good brake pad that works well on all sort of rims and grinds.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi......regrind your rim best way bud.......if you dont have much experiance in grinding rims ...speak to tartybikes they can sxplain it over the phone better than i can type it out..or ask krisboats as he made a pretty good video on how to grind rims:)if you do not wish to regrind .....the id advise you run a pad compound such as plazmatic/rock pad greens dave x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson. Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi mate, basically you have 2 choices, get softer compound pads, or you can regrind your rim and use the pads you already have. I would go for the second one if i were you mate, and save the money for pads towards a new rim for when you cant grind it anymore and it gets weak.

N.Wood Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 If you want new pads, get plaz crms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
