modifiedridah2k9 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hey guys, All i wanted to know was if you guys knew any tecniques to make a pair of magura Hs33 breaks stick better. Some body told me that rubbing the juice from grapes on the rims. Do you guys know any better? Thanks guys. ok juice from grapes? you joking? lol but as everyone else said you use tar or grind to make it stick but tar is like ice in rain and also if you put the smallest bit too much on you will reck your bike so a good grind with one of those power tools that has a spinning disc on it. i would reccomend a medium grind as it lasts longer. you need to take tyre off though! hope i helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirt jumper jake Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 i find that using pads on my maggie makes it 'stick' quite well :L. no seriously just get a grinder with a 'grinding' disc on it, not a cutting disc because if you slip you will rape the rim.

psycholist Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Cutting disks give a sharper grind - aluminium mostly clogs angle grinder disks anyway, so you'd have to leave the disk on the one spot for a couple of seconds before there's any fear of cutting the rim too deep. After getting fed up with the amount of time I spent spent messing with Magura setup, gluing pads into backings, grinds and regrinds and still losing half the brake bite in damp grass after all that trouble I went to dual disk and would be very slow to ever go back ...

Krisboats Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Do you buggery. Angle grinder, follow the tutorial on tartybikes. Actually, the best way of stopping pinch flats after a grinding a rim is to run sandpaper along the edge that the tyre sits on to remove the sharp edge. It's not needed for braking performance as the brake pad shouldn't be touching it and leaving it sharp really does affect the number of punctures you get. I see so many people complaining of getting punctures all the time but they don't sand off the edge of the rim. It's hardly surprising is it?
