Wheel Grind And Brake Set Up

Recommended Posts

Right guys, story goes as so. All ive ever done since starting trials was smooth rims, 2 bolt booster, tar or no tar, citrus pads or limes. Always worked great. However about 4 months ago i had a new wheel built along with a grind. I used my limes on this and worked fine. Recently i bought a set off Tnn LGMs and were great at first on a fresh medium grind, then one day i removed my rear wheel and its not been the same since :( ive cleaned my rim, pads, and set the brake as square as i possibly can. No avail. Cant think what it can be.

Yup, give the pads a very light sand to get the film of dirt they could have picked up when changing set ups or whatever.

Try a bath bleed, I always find these much much stronger than a bleed with a syringe.

Try changing the disk you used with the initial grind, thin metal cutting disks work great at around a 45 degree from the vertical.

My money is on the grind though...
