J Trials 31 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 So I can't get a hold of a grinder right now and my pads are slipping a bit. Any way to renew my grind without actually putting a new one on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I'd say use tar till you get a new grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 So I can't get a hold of a grinder right now and my pads are slipping a bit. Any way to renew my grind without actually putting a new one on?Just leave it or sometimes what i do is get a hack saw and cut round the rim lightly its like a grind and works okwhat pads are you running ?I'd say use tar till you get a new grind. Well yea if you want a horrible sticking feel ever time you pull the brake in then yea use tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Trials 31 Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Using either Echo or Zhi rim. Can't remember which lol. Think it's an Echo. And rear pads are Heatsink clear's ( they are clear not sure what they are as obviously they don't produce them anymore) Anyway might try the hacksaw deal. Tried the wire brush and it worked for a while, but the way I ride only like 3 days. Also, does Dremel make an attachment or is their a small handheld grinder that I could get that would work a lot easier? In the future anyway.

Revolver Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well... over here, you can get an angle grinder for £13, which is a damn sight cheaper than a dremel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spektrum Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you have one; a wirebrush fitting for a drill works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
