Danny Kearns Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 I have always found to do a very light grind and then use sand paper to get rid of the grind if you do not wish to run a grind and hey presto your rim is re-vitalised.Dan.

Matthew_Gibson Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Dont even need a grinding disk on there, Just get a sand paper type thing. Am going to try that wid Zoo pads and see if they last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
