anzo Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Hi all,Just wondering where you get your tar from. I have had a small, tiny block that I found in my garage after repairing a roof.Where do you get yours? I need some and I have no idea where to get hold of a small bit.Thanks.

MikeCottTrials Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 you can buy some off ebay or you can look out for places that might have it and ask someone there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Yea ,I've seen it on Ebay, selling for about 5 quid a block plus p&p, if I remember correctly.I wouldn't mind paying for it as a last resort, but tar is built up of waste products...I aint payout for what it literally shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nick Riviera Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 refined oil = waste products eh? just go to focus or something and find some roofing pitch or similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tank_rider Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 i managed to get some fairly sizeable chunks free by going to a local building supplier (not a chain store like b and q) and asked about buying some, they only sold it in huge slabs but gave me some broken pieces that were layin around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleharrys Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Any builder or Roofing company. Or go to Travis Perkins(Industrial)H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 could you use prit-stick glue on your rim ????Hello no!Tars everywhere, just ask your local builder / roofer for a chunk.Don't pay for it unless you realy can't find any.

Hoot Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 could you use prit-stick glue on your rim ????Wouldnt be a good idea, like if you get it on your fingers, you can just like rub it straight off when it drys, the same on ur rim!

anzo Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Any aerosol solutions that might work?Few ideas being;HairsprayBelt GripAdhesive SprayCoca Cola perhaps?Obviously tar would be the best, but belt grip might work? Not that I'm going to try it, my brakes are shit enough without making them worse, so just curious.What are your tried and tested products?

Dougster Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 I just get my tar of the road. The council use it to fill up cracks in the road so on a sunny day i took out a screwdriver got some chunks and used a hairdrier to melt it. Make it into a ball and you get pimp tar.

tricalum Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Apparently coke works, or ice lolys , but this thread has been done so many times, use the search next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 (edited) Coca Cola perhaps? DO NOT DO IT! doesn't work just makes the pads stick to the rim! and an arse to get off! and hard to get of the pads, if your rims clean the pads will STILL stick and not get off the rim!

Danny.g Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 oh my god its pretty simple really all you do is save 14 15 quid and buy some good pads no need for any of that s**t sorted Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Concussion Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Like many others, I get mine from the road. Usually pick a piece up while riding around town on Thursdays.I find a fresh liberial amount keeps the pads from sticking! I would go for a grind but I can't get the dam tyre off the rear to do it.

Peace!you do know that you don't need to take the tyre off to grind a wheel,you don't have to take anything off, just let down the tyre!!!

theone2be Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 If you don't take off the tyre make sure you know what you're doing, a mate of mine got out the angle grinder and went straight through the brand new HighRollers. I p*ssed my self. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneone Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) Ive tryed softwood(pine) resin it works good but i doubt it will catch on its a little more hassle than tar but becuase i work with wood i can get a hold of it any time... What i do is find a live knot in the timber then drill it out collect the drill dust and place it on somthing clean then take a razor blade and chop it(like cocaine) then roll it up on your fingers and rub it on the rim.

chrishayton Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 tar is awful, it squeels and sticks and needs renewing all the time, just grind your rim and get some nice pads(plaz crm or some koxx bloxx from tarty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
