Matt_Tupman Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Not sure if it's still avalible but I had a rear rim with the corse coating for a short period of time and it was a bit crazy :blink: Get the medium grade so you have alteast a bit of modulation :o other than that yeah it's great go for it :'( Edited June 15, 2005 by Xdream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I heard it eats pads way to quickly, and is expensive. Didn't Bennifer have it done? Someone did...hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biketrialler Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 haha that legendary Plaz rim! It went from Deano on section7... to Jon Mackinnon. To Dean Walker in frimley. Then erm... Deano sold it somewhere. It was an Alex DX32 black rim. It worked amazingly, like a permanent super harsh grind - but kinda like sandpaper effect on the edge rather than lines. This made it eat pads faster than any grind ive ever seen - Magura blacks in erm 4 days, and thats 4 short rides. Maybe 12hours out of a set of pads :blink: It went through a set of Plaz pads quick too, and a set of xlite longs. Good idea, just not that practical.

Ali C Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 I smashed up a bench grinding disk (the type to sharpen tools) into powder then super glued it to my rims. It was waay to harsh, went through a set of kool stops in an hour, even started chewing up the plastic backings :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunkey_monkey_boy Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 even started chewing up the plastic backings :- ← well in that case why not do that to your rim and run solid plastic pads made out of the backing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartridge Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 well in that case why not do that to your rim and run solid plastic pads made out of the backing??? ← Because the backing material is very soft, and not wear resistant at all. It would be entirely possible to make some pads to work on that sort of coating... given the right knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, just not that practical. ← *lol* ahhhh my old rim (Y) good to know it is still alive somewhere. Breaking was amazing to say the least but yes it went through pads. I got through the Maguras blacks riding back from the local bikeshop with my then new Echo (about 1 mile and I didn't even do any trials), then a complete set of 4 of Plaz pads in about 4 hours riding. So my advice would be to get a medium coating done if it is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Where exactly did you get it done? id definitely look into it. No grinds, no tar, can use magura black pads withouting smashing your teeth out. win!win!win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrishayton Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 hmmm. i might have a couple of good ideas for rim coating. i mite have a go too lol. should be fun, and i got a load of rims to try it out on. and try not to make it too abrasive. hmm i'll get back too you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI-KING Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I remember that rim, i think something a little less harsh should be made so your pads last more than a day lol. I might have to try a few things out too (Y)" ummm this should be good! Some one should start doing this no more grinds, your rims will last longer, no thin sidewalls :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
