Rim Grinds

[Billy-C]

Hello

I have started to grind my rear rim and was just thinking how many times could I grind it before I would need to get a new rim?

If anyone can help that would be grate

Thanks

Depends what rim it is

And depends what type of disk you use. If it's thick it makes deepers cuts, and also the angle you place on the rim when grinding. So many variables!

I have a Onza hog rear rim and I use a thin grinding disk

But thanks anyway

Is this as simple as it sounds?

Just grinding the braking face of the rim. To aid stopping power?

And what disks do you use?

Yes it really really is, well obviously you have to be carefull to pull the disk not push it and you also have to watch the angle of the disk.

You use metal cutting disks.

Thanks Bud.

And why Cutting disks, Over proper Grinding ones?

Only thing i can think of is the 'Harshness' of actual grind?

Yer they give a harsher grind but this is why you pull the disk if you push it they cut into the rim.

What does the finish rim look like?
