sam Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 I am not too sure if my grinding technique is correct, I have a ronnie rim and i am currently using heatsink blues and my brake is well good for about 2 days after a new grind then it all goes pete tong. I am holding the grinder inline with the spokes and grinding round the rim, adding a fair amount of force and not just tickling the surface. The brake is set up well good too but after the 2 days the brake is just poop!! , at this rate i will be going through alot of rims in a short period of time so any help or advice would be great.

Fishy Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Try using differnet pads, or cleaning them. The pads might have oil or the rim might have oil on. If it still doesn't work, try re-bleeding your brake.jOefish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 What rim do you have? If you say Try-All there's your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 (edited) Haha. I must have missed that. That's pretty wierd though. A grind on my Ronnie lasts for at least 2months. EDIT: What cutting disk are you using? I really hope that's not in the post, too. *Reads it for a third time!* Edited January 18, 2006 by Siders77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
