Rockman Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Basically I'm ready for new pads, and would like the best hold and bite possible, also do you find you get a better grind with a thick or thin disc? I don't care how much I spend as long as I get the best brake possible. Thanks Shane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Metal cutting disc. Shallow angle. Quite fast, long strokes. Not much pressure. Don't keep repeating the same bit if possible. You will then be in possession of a sweet grind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 With my LGMs Ive used a metal cutting disc, but at a steeper angle to get a harsher grind. Works brilliantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Oh, Ive also tried grinding my rims with a fresh'ishh diamond cutting disc. The thin ones. Uber sharp grind. Would be ideal for the LGM pads. Will give it a testing out when my rims ready to be reground Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Super thin disc, at right angle to the rim, quick. and don't hoover the rim! seemed to work for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 LGM's, thin disc and I have no idea what a harsh/medium or light grind is. I just grind my rim until it's got a rough surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockman Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Or One persons harsh grind could be another persons light grind Went for LGM's, had them on before, but I put the Refills in and they were never that good, but these are amazing. Cant ride it cause my Echo TR caged pedals have snapped.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le @ Tnn Engineering Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 LGM last for forever. So if you number 1 priority is performance riders like TRA and Joe Brewer just grind as harsh as possible for peak power. (new thicker disc,steep angle,fast movement,moderate pressure 1-2kg of force,only grind in a pulling direction) One other trick is stop the grinder after grinding about .5 metre of rim and pick off any chucks of aluminum stuck on the disc. This will keep the wheel from clogging up and flattening out your perfect grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Anscombe Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 ive tried lighter grinds but they just dont seem to offer as much power ! i usually run fairly harsh grinds phat pads lasted ages on harsh grinds so did the old heatsink reds /croco browns/ koxx greens and koxx reds/plazmatic crm's OLD ones aLL LASTED ME AGGGES WITH PRETTY HARSH GRINDS....But theese lgms seem to wear down pretty quick.

Mark W Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 It genuinely does depend how you grind though. With the way Cap grinds, he had to do pretty harsh grinds to get his pads to work well. When I grind his rim for him though, I can get a much lighter grind and still get them to work well. There are loads of different ways you can change the way you grind your rim, and each way you do it differently will have an impact on how effective the grind is.

You will then be in possession of a sweet grind. You can feel if you're doing it right because it'll 'look' quite shallow, but if you run your fingernail/fingertips over it you can feel that it's basically sharper/not as dull. If you do a bit quite quickly, then do a bit slowly, you can feel the difference between the two pretty clearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 All i do is start from the valve hole...move the grinder accros the rim fairly quickly in one direction untill it feels as rough as i do on a sunday morning!

Luke Rainbird Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I've never had particularly good results from my LGMs either, despite a fair range of different grinds. Don't think it's the rim as the grind didn't die particularly quickly and worked fine with other pads. Still, worked enough for me to get a decent use out of them, new pads on for the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 My lgms are fantastic on My grind but they do tend to run out pretty quick ! I re ground my rim today Used a thinner cutting disc fairly steep angle But no wear near as much preasure was used ...the grind feels sharp but the groves are no wear near as deep as they normaly are ! Will see how it goes once i have the cash to fix the bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
