Jake. Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 You could make your own tar, if you could raise a pet dinosaur, wait for it to die, bury it and wait a few million years for it to turn to petroleum oil, extract it, boil off the gasoline and diesel and other stuff, and then use the tar. These other people just don't have any imagination. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Damn that's lame then. Us trials bikers should have been here when this tar spill happened: http://edmonton.ctv.ca/servlet/an/local/CTVNews/20110815/EDM_tarspill_110815/20110815/?hub=EdmontonHome They wouldn't have had to make blockages to stop the tar, we'd just put it all in a bag and take it home haha.

Jake. Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 haha i have been looking on google for some one that sells road tar but on one seems to sell it no more :/ Your best bet would be to ask anyone that's doing road works... Or builders. Why not just get a penknife and dig out a big chunk of tar after melting it with a lighter, or do it on a stoking hot day?

Topsy Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 I guess scraping warm tar off the road is what most people do. Though I'd get a grind if I were you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Tar sucks compared to a grind. Buy a block of bitumen from b&q if you're desPerate... Although you could get an angle grinder from there tOo.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you think the people who use it for a living get it? I suppose they secrete it from their pores right? Shiiiiit.

theadamantman Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 i have 3 grinders but tar is amazing on a dead grind with heat sink yellows is the best i think I guess scraping warm tar off the road is what most people do.

Revolver Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 That is a fair point, but no, you can get it from B&Q. It does come in a MASSIVE packet that would do you and all the riders you know for your entire lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 i have 3 grinders but tar is amazing on a dead grind with heat sink yellows is the best i think Screw that. Heatsink yellows are perfect on a 3.5 year old deader than dead grind. Tar is not needed what so ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Isnt the answer simple? Grind and Heatsink CNC Yellows. Cant go far wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryanonza Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Tar is just just an excuse for a poor brake setup, go dig some tar up from the road is what I used too do saves money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try-All 2 bolt booster, Echo TR Clamps, and Heatsink CNC Yellows. Set up as square as you could imagine. Its just personal preference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunny12345 Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 If you see a council van going around, ask them for some, that's what i did and they gave me a massive block of it Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
