You'll need a new set of pads, Rock green pads are for smooth rims so you'll need to spend another 17-32 quid-ish on pads too! I was very very very bored i knew grapes were sticky and that people put coke on there rims to make the braking better (i tryed this after and it made the braking worse) and i hadn't eaten my packed lunch for school that day. I strongly suggest trying this on a smooth rim one grape per side (me and kenny use purple grapes not sure if that makes any difference) Make sure the rim is dry before you start using your new emmence braking power. EDIT: You'll want to do this once - twice per a day ride and keep your pads and rim clean. EDIT2: grape brakes = BIG win EDIT3: you lot f**k off out to your bikes with some grapes and try this shit! EDIT4: sorry kenny i kinda hijacked your thread...

No I've used it and i was the guy who found that out. The bite sound and hold is like TNN LMG's its fantastic! Don't doubt grapes! EDIT: kenny this is why i never mentioned the grape idea on here, no one would try it or even listen to the idea. Just laugh (like half cooked meat )

Just Returned To Trials And I Have Questions.....
Laurence--Trials replied to MrSuave's topic in Trials Chat
Dont/ Never ever ever ever use trials-uk (unless you want to get scamed) Tartybikes.co.uk !! 6.Brake pads: TNN LMG pads well worth the money! 5.Magura levers: Something like this two finger lever is nice. I've used them before and they feel fantastic how the 'bend' round the tip of your finger, Or this 4 finger lever if you want extra leaverage or obvusly use 4 fingers. I may beable to help with the bash ring too, how much are you willing to spend? -
