neotropolis Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Something to consider before you go rubbing a candle all over everything - based on a generic suggestion - is that there are as many different kinds and qualities of waxes as there are brake pads. Some may work better than others, but only under the right conditions. There are tacky waxes that could work, but I'd personally go with a grind, as it's just a better all around solution that you don't have to reapply everytime you want to go riding. Just my opinion though. You can try some snot if the candle doesn't do it for you I would definitely agree with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Why is this?Because standard black pads suck and give you no grip at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazor Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 Why is everyone so sure this isnt true ? Its definatley possible that it works for someone but not others, oh and in the 90s i used raceline maguras with normal black pads on a sun mamoth smooth rim and never had any slippage.So its not a case of this works and this dosent sometimes things that dont work for you work for others.Anyway just my thoughts on the matter not ranting or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
