trialsguyperth Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 I was using tar for years on my bike to me it was good and work really well. I was reading through this forum and people go on about grinding your rim is the best and the way forward so i tried it. I went at my rims with a grinder today and holy shit what a differance. It stuck really well and stayed there. I am using viz yellow pads on the back and onza citrus pads on the pads, you guys that go on about grinding being better i couldnt agree more its fantastic anyone still using tar go and grind your rim.

trialsguyperth Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 i was going down a steep hill today and pulled the front brake lever, i got to the bottom to the hill and checked the onza citrus pads and they were gone, my rim grind has destroyed the pads hahaha its funny but kinda annoying. After the slight dissapointment i treated myself at tarty bikes by buying 2 sets of rockman blues, big thanks to the guys at tarty bikes, great guys and great help too.

The same thing will happen with any pad. Get a disk up front if you want to go down big hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsGilly Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 As you use the grind more it will start to wear down and loose some of its bite. When this starts don't go mad, but put a tiny amount of tar round the rim again. Will make the grind, therefore your rim last a lot longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like citrus pads, I have had them rinsed in a day of riding with no hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Not like citrus pads, I have had them rinsed in a day of riding with no hills. Mine lasted quite well, must've had an insane grind or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
