liam_thornton Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hi I have an onza t-mag with a standard onza hog rim on the rear and i have some tensile bubblgum pads and they work amazingly well some times for about 30 minutes of riding then they don't work and they slip do you think i should get a rim grind or get a new rim thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt! Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 them hog rims are amazing with zoo pads and a little bit of tar! best break ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 if your gonna use tar, then you may as well use black pads....instead of using tar, lighty melt the top layer of pad on a hot flat surface, it makes them tacky like tar, but still works in the wet.or grind your rim and get some heatsinks, iolo pads, plaz etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat Smith! Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 TAR IS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!Iolopads ***.100% tar , just playin', but seriously tar is horrible, it sticks 'n' it just looks shocking, it's fine if you only use it for 1 ride when you can't re grind or whatever, but using it in general is yuuuuuuuuk.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 there's a fair difference between blacks/reds with tar and CRMs with tar - the braking is a lot more positive with CRMsI didn't really notice a lot of difference between CRMs on a shiny clean rim and CRMs with tar but i'm too slack to clean my rims so it's tar all the way for me.
