Guesty Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hello i have recently had a trials bike built and i have been out on it a couple of times now. I have just got in for washing it and i have noticed that the anodizing has started to rub. It has started to rub of in places were the break pad grab. There are no groves are anything to suggest that my pad had been contaminated with dirt are anything that scratched the hell out of my rim. I am just wondering if the anodizing does not stay on for long with the break pads grabbing it all the time. If so for the price of the rims i am pretty upset about as they look tacky.Thanks Guesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 The anodizing will come off anyway if it keeps getting rubbed. Your brake wont work well this time of year without a rough rim braking surface anyway. Most riders grind their rim to make it rough.

davey1991 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Anodizing will never stay if your using a rim brake.I thought that would be quite obvious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted December 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 yer it is obvious but after 3 times out on my bike, total time about 3-4hours. I didn't think it would turn out silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would turn out silver.Its meant to come away quickly if you use a rim brake, you loose alot of braking power on anodizing.When its gone your brake will only be better.Most people run brakes with a grind anyway.
