cox. Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Smooth rim or a grind, use some tar. (: Smooth rim, deodorant If you use tar, make sure you clean it every now and then. Just a bit of warm water and a sponge gets it off. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banashapan Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) are you using a brake booster with it?similar problem i had on an old T-Rex frame i used to have, the magura would flex the seat stays outwards, thus, reducing how effectively the brake worked, the addition of a booster worked a treat. but this may not be the case with forks probably best to start off with a re-bleed and softer pads and see how you get on Edited March 20, 2008 by banashapan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
