Token Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Be sure to rub vertically, otherwise you'll be just make horizontal lines across the rim which can only make your braking worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Smith Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Why do u put tar on in the first place yeah!! it makes the brakes stick more but, tar was made to put on roads.. Give it a light grind or snad it down (which takes the piss and takes half your rim away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dec Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) yes mate just use lighter fluid or white spirits. it works a treat just put a bit on a rag and then wipe it on the rim then after you have done one side get another clean rag and wipe the rim down so you get all the excess spirits or fluid offdec Edited February 13, 2008 by dec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peperami Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Aye, either white spirit or similar. You can buy tar remover from halfrauds, but think its practically the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gu trials Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) heat your rim up but just so the tar starts to melt and then it should rub of easier and use sandpaper. you will not have to rub as hard to get it of that way Edited March 10, 2008 by montyboy07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
