N.Wood Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Either grind it or keep it smooth. Inbetween and your brake will be shit, and its a waste of time. Why don't you want to grind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Grind it, you dont need to do it harsh, bigman ground my front rim by just spinning it in the forks and touching the grinder on for about 1/2 second, it made my vee brake work perfectly in the wet but still retains a fair degree of modulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I don't get why you wouldn't want to grind it? If you want a decent wet weather brake- grind it. If you want a decent dry/shit wet brake- leave it, if you want an all 'round shit brake- work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Shields Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 do as what is said above, literally brush the grinder around while its spinning, increases brake bite (dependant on pads) but doesn't eat them alive while normal braking. other alternative, get a grind, new pads that last, jobs a good'en.
