planet x alan Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yo. Since starting up trials again i've gone for the sharp grind and no tar method (I used to be more of a smooth rim and tar person back in the day). Got a puncture and after fixing it all up the rear brake is complete gash. Now i know exactly why this is, bits of rubber off the tyre yadda yadda yadda. What I don't know is the best way to rectify the problem and have a savage rear brake again. I've tried: Brake cleaner and a clean cloth and cleaned the rim and pads off De greaser Water The brake is still pants and it's driving me insane Help!

bing Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Regrind, and sand your pads again. It's the only way in my opinion to get it working right again. Have you checked you've got your rear rim back in the same place as before? Might be slightly out of line Edited March 30, 2013 by bing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've always just used it, dragged my brake slightly... Always worked in minutes for me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
