Janson Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Maybe you drag it lots when pedal kicking. Ie being a bit slow when releasing and grabbing the brake, wearing the pads down.I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that happened to me with the fake plazmatic that Prawn was selling, and that was on a light grind! Get another pair and try not to grind your rim, if you do make it lighter. This is coming from somone who can't doesn't grind a lot. I'm getting some hearsink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hold every time, no wear at all. Get some Rob. Your rim will last years. lol. My greens have about 3 mm left, but they dnt touch the rim, need new pads.
