Sh*t Rim Or Bad Pads?

[p_ruskin]

Gave my rim (Onza Zoot 24) a grind on Friday,

After the grind, i swapped my pads round, but the back brake felt stupidly flexy so i swapped them back.

Then the rear pads (TNN Belaeys) wouldn't work at all.

Ground the rim again and they worked better but very average still. It was a very harsh grind.

Went out in the rain yesterday and the rim got a little muddy, but it was only from dirt washing from the tyres and very thin watery mud at that.

Checked this morning, and my rim is completely smooth and the brake was insanely bad.

The grind has completely worn down in 1 ride, Is it to do with the conditions or do i just have a sh*tty rim? I'm getting fed up of having to grind my rims 1-2 times a week just to ride for 2 days at the most, are there any solutions?

if its a standard onza rim they tend to hold grinds about as well as cheese you will get much better results from something like an echo tr

Not true. Ronnies are one of the best rims ive found to hold a grind, and my onza diamond was pretty good aswell

yeah i agree the ronnies are pretty good i was talking about the cheaper standard rims that they put on their full builds, [robably should have been a bit clearer
