Mat Smith!! Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Just grind it and pump your tyres up hard, try be smoother, try all rims usually die after about 5 grinds, depending on how harsh you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basher Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 you just keep putting grinds on untill when riding you get big dints and thats when you get a new rim. theres no science to it or certain amount of grinds just keep doing them till your rims f**ked.

that NBR dude Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Thats pretty much how I knew my Try-All rim was toast. It started denting first, then cracking then snapping off altogether. It had been ground more times than a femmewog on a dance floor though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
