Guest itstroy08 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 i dont see whhy peperamy dont grind there rims, it has so many more advantages, a set of pads it what 25 max, so how much is a new skull, and he is hurting himself, so id say grind asap, before you slip off the pedals and hit your head on a curb, causing a cracked skull??? or a likke worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 i got a smooth rim with plaz blue's never fails to lockjust because a brake doesnt lock it dont mean a grind will solve the problemscheck the setup first and then decide where to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdmackay Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Don't bother with a grind.They weaken your rims. They go dead after a few weeks and you need to re-do them, they munch your pads quicker.Set the brake up good and get some awesome pads like snowy's and smooth rim is the best.

Trials Punk Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Let the poor b*****d make up his own mind. If his brakes crap, he'll eventually fall and hurt himself. Lesson learnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 If he's not clever enough to realise that he gets hurt because of his brake slipping, would you really trust him with a grinder!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
