Savage Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Grind your rim;Mark your rim with a felt pen both sides in a random place, this saves always starting and finishing in the same place and wearing out the overlap when you grind repeatedly.Place your wheel on a small bucket to support it. I also sit down.Be confident, hold the wheel pressing down on the axle point, stroke the grinder across the breaking surface so it makes lines at right angles to it.Try to keep the angle of the grinder constant.Rotate the wheel on the bucket to grind a new area each time you can’t make a comfortable stroke with it.Keep the wire out of the way and wear eye protection.Ben.
