dngr2self Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Grinding them gives more bite and better hold. It's good if your riding in the rain as well. Not everyone does it though, you can get your brakes working pretty good just by fettling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
