Dan6061 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Keep the rim smooth if you're getting Echo Pinks, as they have a really soft compound. On a grind, they would last 10mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Sweeney Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 No because you are only making them ruff it's not like your putting huge holes all the way around the rimHope i have helped Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
