dannytrialskid Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 get some sand paper, and sand your pad a little. will get rid of any shit on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 get some sand paper, and sand your pad a little. will get rid of any shit on there In my experience, doing this has made their performance even worse, definitely not something I personally would recommend doing. Out of interest, why is grinding not an option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamWood! Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 What brake pads do you run for a start? Are your brakes set up correctly and square to the rim? If not, id start there and set them up properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny00135 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 grind, tar, fresh set of pads or grind, tar, fresh set of pads You shouldn't NEED to use tar with a good grind and a good set up brake. It's best used for emergencies just in-case for some unknown reason reason your brake goes poop.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
