kaybs41282 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi, the bike I have came with these rims and I just wondered if anyone has ground them before and how well the grind lasted? I'm planning to start grinding my rims but won't bother if the rims are going to need re-ground all the time. Thanks in advance Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I've been using one for a while they hold there grind pretty well, what grade of grind are you planning for you pads I'd use a light one first then if that goes really quick just paint over it.

kaybs41282 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Thanks for that, probably a light grind with heatsink yellows... What's your set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 When I had brakes I used a medium grind and power pads, it seemed to last pretty long. The DV is a good, strong rim though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaybs41282 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 My main worry is I'll have to fork out for new rims all the time, how many times have you ground yours and over how long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miles Mallinson Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 erm i've grinded mine three times maybe less since i've had them, I rode them with brakes for about 8 months so they've lasted pretty long. The grind lasted about 3 months so just topping them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
