ghostrider88 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 They are almost too bitey on smooth if both pads and rim are totally clean,if not,they go to shite.on grind they´re very good,sharp light grind is the best from my experience.

Azarathal Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Don't use tar with a grind. The inspired pads are super soft so the grind would have to be stupidly light, they're still amazing pads even on smooth rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Because you're making the surface rough then applying tar which then makes the rim smooth again! Kinda pointless. And it doesn't improve anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 If a brake needs tar to work then there's something wrong. A well set up brake does not need tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
