Punkrider Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yes, it's called a grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I run disc but my mate has a magura oil bleed with custom pads (made by another friend), ground rim and it works perfect! Give the rims a grind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Arnold Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 interesting, all of you! loli simply cant get it to work, 3 grinds, no luckmine came with what looked like light oil coating....sooooootry this sexy boi......degrease the rim, wash it off with water, let it dry, re-grind it with a new disc(because the old one will have oil on it if this is the problem) either use new pads or file a load off the surface hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 What pads are you using Mike?At a guess Adam i would say Majic pads..........I may as well add that my brake was AWSOME on my echo rim, i was running CNC backings and red pads and it was silly Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Haha, just kidding.I've found that you need to use less 'sticky' material on rims like Echo and Onza Hogs, or they just get loads of aluminium stuck to them and don't work. As far as I remember, the Majics are a bit like that yellow stuff Stan used - which was awful for getting glazed. Plaz are a good bet since theyre not 'sticky' at all, much more waxy.

MaXsteri Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Plaz on a dead grind works awesomely on the back for me.And heatsink blues on a unground front gives nice (some) modulation which feels good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
