Danny Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Do what I did :- 1. Nick lewis's grinder 2. Take grinder home and take wheel and tire off bike 3. Take inside bathroom 4. Place on the bottom of shower cubicle 5. Get extension lead into bathroom 6. Place one foot on it 7. Grind to f00k 8. Shout rest of day because you deafened yourself because u used a grinder in a tiny little en-suite bathroom at uni accomodation. 9. Stand back and enjoy what you have done with a beer and smile at the fact you just woke all your flatmates up :D 10. Still have lewis's grinder because he got hit by a tram so didnt feel like picking it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Tartridge, that rim looks sweet :thumbsup: I only have a small hobby tool grinder which only has about a one inch grinder bit on it! it is good for a light grind but only lasts for about three rides till it wares off. and cos of the small grinder bit, it takes me ages cos only the middle is in contact with the rim at a time. it makes applying tar easier though.

Trials Punk Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 I've used a wire brush fitting on an angle grinder, just take the disk off and put the wire brush on, really light compared to a proper grind but gives u an advantage if you don't want to slaughter your rims to much.

Howard Hughes Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 I put a grind on my 521 today and its really crap.

mavic Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 A slight grind is amazing with meagmo/monty pads I did mine with a file and then cleaned the rim with some muck off ( I am very gay and if my bike is not clean then I cry) it is much better than tar and works like a bich on speed in the dry and ok in the wet(I dont ride in the wet ) any way if u dont want a massive grind in your rim use a file or hack saw takes about 1 hour but just do when u are watching tv or somthing... pxdanny :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phatmike Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 I'm just about to do it now, and has anyone got any info about which way to hold the grinder. it spins clock wise looking from top if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoShO Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 ive got 2 old concept kids bike wheels so im gonna learn on them so I dont FFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKK my new koxx rim.what disc do you use(soft/hard)and what angle to hold it at?cheers,josh :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 I use a metal cutting disc, gives a really rough grind, eats pads! I hold the grinder at a 45 degree angle, but it doesn't really matter much. Gray is rim, green is grinder, yellow arrow shows which direction to "drag" the grinder to.
