Egg Fried Rice Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 right, i want a grind on my new bike but i want a fairly harsh grind.someone said you should really dig into it and someone else i know said u shold do it lightly so the grinder "bounces" off the rim and creata better grooves.so all i need to know is what angle to hold it at and how hard to do it?thanks very muchim sorry if theres lots of posts about this but theres too many posts to look throughJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Harshest grind I've had, was when my mate used a grinding disc, instead of a cutting disc.Lastes aaaages! with my CRMs. Oh, point the grinder upwards, vertically, so the side of the disc hits it. and just rub round.Try that?

Dan-Walker Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) Hold the angle grinder at different angles to get different types of grinds, the closer the grinder is to 90 degrees the harsher it will be.oh and also........you dont need to push hard with the grinder on the rim, i dont find there is any need.

N.Wood Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Sorry to kinda jack this thread, but i wondered whether putting the grinding wheel at a slight offset to centre would create a bad-in-the-ass grind. As it'd bounce all over the shop...Hmm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 OK heres my tip, and i think iolo does his this way tooGet the wheel in a truing stand or similar with tyre + tube offSet it spinning a bitWith goggles on put the grinder on PARALELL to the wheel to get it spinning at 11,000 rpm (or whatever your grinder does)NOW grind it and perpendicular or similarI use a grinding disc btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 best way i've found is with a cutting disc hold it steep and lightly and quickly pass it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Fatmike is the king of harsh grinds, I could not believe my eyes when he showed me how he grinds. I grind fairly harsh, and compared to his tech, i caress the rim... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Imagine trying to chop a tree in half in one blow with an axe, but do that with grinder/rim. He should video it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
