Muel Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 No one uses it because it is crap, goes all crusty and falls off apparently, just grind your rim and then ride your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom 20 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Not too sure on this but ring the tarty guys up or cleanbikes. No doubt the could help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 It's just spray on glue. -Will stick your pads to the rim too.Will leave white marks all over your rims, which looks a bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Owen. Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i havent personally used it but all the reviews i have ever herd are bad, very bad. i rekon just get a grind and some decent pads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 There was a topic about this the other week. In basic it's good for comps but not street. Want to now why? Go take a look at the other thread. Tar is the choice for street in any case. I used it a a few years back and it works super well if applied in the right proportion. One of the tins is sat leeking in my room right this minute... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 its not bad depends how much you use it, your meant to spray it on the rim but if you miss and it gets wet later on it will turn white, the best way to probably apply it is spray on a cloth and rub it on your rim. its pretty decent.

Reinold Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I tryed it on.. never again, i was adviced by a friend to let it bed in but me being me rode with it as soon as it was on, I went to backwheel a curb slipped fell on my back and somehow snapped my magura marta lever which i just got two days earlier so i wasn't to pleased.I would suggest taking tar with you on rides and just put tar on when the tar wears off or better yet get a grind and some new pads.

scottmarks2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i personally dont like the stuff for the simple reason that it makes a god awfullmess on your rim, its meant to be an easy solution to tar but in my opinion i would much raver carry a little tar round instead of a big tin thanks scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC12345678910 Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Thanks. so it looks like I shoudn't bother buying then. Is it worth buying proper rim tar then (does it last any longer), cos i really don't want a grind.The stuff I find on the road is CRAP! How do u know if tar is good or not?

grantallsop Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I used it and it was amazing. The only problem with it was the white bits and it was too sticky, i just ended up grinding my rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARV* Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've tried thos liquid in competition and riding through the street and i can say you that a grind or instead of it our typical tar is well better than those thing Monty say's increase the power (in real life only increases the horrible sound when braking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
