jack dickinson Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Im going to buy a brand new wheel set off tarty this week. I was thinking tt sport light front and back rims and hubs. But i run maggie on back and disc on front. I am worried about the angled sidewalls. Im not going to grind the rim as i run 1 tnn adm pad and 1 heatsink yellow pad with tar, then fizzy drink left to dry. Are angled sidewalls that bad? Ive heard bad things about them and a value a good brake. I only want a single skinned rear rim. Also if you could suggest a better wheelset for under 300 pounds that would be nice. Please serious answers and thanks in advance. Edited July 7, 2014 by jack dickinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack dickinson Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Tar AND fizzy drink?!?! Wel yeah before a ride i put tar on my rim then soak a Sock or rag with fizzy drink, usually lucazade and wipe it around my rim. After ill cycle around featjering my brake if im in a rush or leave it to dry. Makes my brakes savage. Its off topic so please no more questions about my brake pads Rock n roll bikes wheelset? Whats that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vivian-Trial Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Coca cola works well on a smooth rim and am being serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack dickinson Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Coca cola works well on a smooth rim and am being serious. Any fizzy drink works that why i didnt specify a specify drink just fizzy drinks in general. I guess that any sugary drink works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I bet it does work I've tried all sorts.. even toothpaste at one point. Still never liked sloping walls, tyres used to roll a bit more and the brakes were a twat to set up. I giggled because I thought of the Dan Cox associated rim.. childish I know of course then you said what looked like violin wax and I giggled even more.
