Bearded Midget Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 when i had a grind with my koxx browns this happened but seeing as you have zoos i cant imagine you run a grind with them so i cant see whats wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Its gotta be a grind.... or perhaps if the rim is anodised/coated silver its rubbing off,If you ran it with tar it would probably carry on working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Breeze Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Nope, i aint running a grid, with zoo pads it would last about 5 mins, its just a standerd onza rim , i had been running tar but decided to stop beacuse trying to manual is impossible with a tard rim...

Fishy Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 It could be because your dragging your brake as you try and manuel? Take your wheel out your t-poo and clean it good and proper, and your pads. None of this half hearted cleaning either. I think I remember seeing someone say cleaning it with like Mr Sheen makes the rim uber good for smooth brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeriding Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Zoo pads will last on a slight grind, and it improves their performance alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had them quite long aswell and there is not as much noise as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
