davidlongy Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Ive been having a problem with riding in the wet, if I go out in the wet or ride through some wet terrain, my brakes become very soft and hardly work so I have to dry the rims and adjust my brakes to make them better Is there any way I can resolve this?

Cheers do you have a grind on your rims, and what brake pads are you using? A grind really helps because regular unground rims become REALLY slick in the wet and brake pads just slide straight off them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Grinds make a huge dfference, I don't notice a difference in brake performance even when it's raining. Then it's only tyres letting you down. If you don't want to grind just bring some paper towels and wipe the much off the rim and pads every now and again.
