mat hudson Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 use the search like a good little boy and you'll find that grinding and koxx browns is the general concensus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alastair Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yo mateid advise the Kool stop pads for a smooth rim, i found that with tar they were great.DO not go for Heatsink Blues without a grind, i did that mistake, and have had a shocking brake for bout 3 weeks, only just got a grind 2 days ago, and it feels soo much snappier. You should go for a grind, but if you do, get new pads, cos a pad like Kool stops have a really low wear rate on a grind. Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I have coust pads made by heatsink now. There ok I use a Stanely knife to give it alittle grind but sometimes there good and sometimes there not without a grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CraigMackay Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 zoo pads if you dont want a grind, but I'd recommend you do and get yourself a proper brake set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 Right, for a non ground rim, get either Plazmatic CRMs, or any colour of ZOO! pads.Either run a PROPER grind, or a smooth rim. Don't be a pussy and f**k your rim with a stanley knife, you'll make the brake worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1337 Trials Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 hehe ;p. Is a fast or slow angle grinder best???? what is 11k rpm like for grinding rims??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 hehe ;p. Is a fast or slow angle grinder best???? what is 11k rpm like for grinding rims???A faster angle grinder will grind your rim quicker. I can't think of any reason why the speed would alter the type of grind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastair Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 A faster angle grinder will grind your rim quicker. I can't think of any reason why the speed would alter the type of grind.surely if its rotating faster, it will grind the rim more becuase its making more rotations, therefore the blade is hitting it more, doing a better job, with a slower one, you would have to hold it on more.But i may be wrong, correct me if i amAl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you went over it again it wouldn't make different surely? It'd just do the job slightly faster that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 If you go around the rim at a constant speed with a faster grinder it'll be a worse grind than with a slower grinder. If you think about it the thing about the grind that makes the brake work better the is the way you put little tiny divots in the rim levaving a sharp edge. If you have a fast grinder then it will hit the rim more times per second meaning that the sharp edge's of the divot will be a lot closer together. Its like a bed of nails, If you have the nails really close together(fast grind) so it is effectively a flat surface, you can lie on it no problems, yet if you have say 10 evenly spaced out nails(slow grind, yes I know a bit of an exageration)the it will hurt. It's all because of pressure.So in conclusion. Fast grinder=move around the rim fast slow grinder=move around the rim slowerI would say fast is about 13k rpm and slow is about 10-11k rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted April 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 SOme guy said if its faster you are more likely to f**k the rim up and doesnt go as deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumble291 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I've got koxx browns if you use them on a smooth rim they make a horrible high pitch screech sound. I suggest you get a grind as you will get better braking and a better screech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
