MMMM-JASON Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Right so at the moment my pads have worn down at an angle and its making it hard to set up.I was wondering if i might be able to grind them flat. Would this screw my pads up of would it make them better?I know this might sound like a stupid idea but mabey someone has tryed this if so could you tell me if it worked.Jason.

Muel Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Have you got plastic backings? They tend to do that. Best bet is to turn the pads around so they wear straight again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theom Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just grind them flat, alot less hassle than turning them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMMM-JASON Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just grind them flat, alot less hassle than turning them around.If i did this would it create more friction like a grind on a rim thus making my brake better.

theom Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah it puts little grooves in your pads which makes them a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yeah it puts little grooves in your pads which makes them a little better.For a few seconds until the grind smooths the pad back down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
