ghosts_cloak Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Hello guys ) Its been a while since I have posted!My rear brake is a HS33 2005, heatsink pads (the red £6 ones for smooth rims), Leeson booster and on SunRhyno Xl 24 rim (Smooth). Its been working reasonably, on and off for a few months, but now its in an off phase! It has no holding power and doesnt come on suddenly at all. The pads are nicely aligned with the rim, I have sanded them (and the rims!). I dont think they need a bleed as they dont feel "squishy". I gave the front and rear brake the same treatment, and the front is working great!Im fed up with the situation so I think I am going to do a grind unless there are any other suggestions?My mum bought me some heatsink blues for christmas which should be good on a light grind?Does anyone happen to have a link to somewhere I can buy a grinder like argos etc that is suitable for grinding, and nice and cheap! Thanks very much for any advice!~Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobnobs Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 You said it yourself, argos. Theres an adjustable speed one for £16 somewhere, just have a peep and see what you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you are as tight as a ducks arse, or want to do it now. you can use a really gnarly file and it works...okish. Not as good as a grind, but definitly better than nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghosts_cloak Posted February 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 (edited) Hey, cool ) I just said argos half heartedly, thinking about convenience, I will take a peek now! Although they charge for delivery I think, so Im still open to any other suggestions ~GazIf you are as tight as a ducks arse, or want to do it now. you can use a really gnarly file and it works...okish. Not as good as a grind, but definitly better than nothing " tight as a ducks..." I dont think I have a file with me (at uni) but I recon I could find something to roughen up the surface lying around!None of my local argos's seem to have that cheap one in stock, and its not available for home delivery apparently...~GazEDIT: weird.... both posts I made appeared in the same post!
