Carlperkins Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 ok so ive run a rim grind now for a long time, today i gave my rim a nice new grind. i roll it forward and the brake is good, roll the bike backwards and the brake seems better. anyone know why? is it because my pads arent set up perfect or something? ive had my 4 bolt mounts faced and im running echo tr clamps so i would have thought they would be good. or could it be the direction that im grinding or something like that, (this seems a bit far fetched but you never know) any ideas anyone? carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
