MikeCottTrials Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Guys i know its probably already been said, so dont say search etc just tell me here. Has anyone ever tried to grind their rim with hand tools? because i havent got access to an angle grinder. all ive got is a load of tools in the shed . if anyone has any other ideas then speak up, any info will be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Stanley knife, or a real harsh file. The file lasts longer, but isn't as harsh as the stanley knife, which works like a beast, but takes ages to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Yeah, if you do a search you'll find my topic about them, and I put some pictures up as well. All you do is take your back wheel off, and do a fast scoring action all the way around using quite a bit of pressure to make it score deep.

Simpson Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 cut 999999999999 million times into the rim perpendicualar to the sidewall (at a right angle) more pressure deeper cuts longer lasting e.t.c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Angle grinders only cost £15. Worth buying one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilky_mod_legend2 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Angle grinders only cost £15. Worth buying one. Arrrrrrrrr ARGOS!!!! lol Use a craft knife, but to be honest, waste of time and effot, just buy an angle grinder, you WONT wreck you rim, its easy! you'll be fine!, no need to worry, dont be a pansey! lol, But dont get to friednly with the angle grinder and me and a mate cut all the way through a rim, arrrr ways to pass the rainy days , files dont leave much 'grinding' leave more 'scratches' but its better than nothing i guess.CheersWilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
