Rossi Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Don't ride in muddy, wet conditions? Keep it clean n it'll stay in tact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Aye, get a decent rim either a ronnie or the new echo ones are good for grinds as they have strong, sharp metal. clarky :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swize Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 What pads are you using koxx browns ? If so try and get a softer compound. And if ur grinding too light just go with a nice deep grind. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIX Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 No grind, on any rim will stay put when ridden in the wet and mud. It just makes a paste which wears away the grind in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totaltrials Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 The silly sod managed to get mud pouring off his tyre onto his rim so it was a mud infested breaking surface, for some reason my rim had hardly any mud on it and my grind didnt wear down at all, Dave, I think your just a Bad jock that's all. :lol: Phil.
