cbskiddies Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 If my break pads are really old, and warn down how can i clean them off to make the break performance even better? Is it possible to do it without taking the wheel off? Thank you so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Sand paper. Can fit it between the rim and pad easily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modifiedridah2k9 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 maybe just loosen the bolts that hold the brake clamps a wee bit then push the pads closer to the rim. who cares if their dirty but if you really do care, just spray them with a hose. no need to take wheel of at all hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeanuckleJive Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 What lawnmowerman said, give them a sand to get rid of the crud, after a while they end up pretty slippy when full of brake dust, sanding them cleans it off and also roughens up the surface a bit which gives you good bite also clean your rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials-master Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Do what lawnmowerman says and then tar your rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
