AlexClare94 Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Can anyone please explain how to proceed with grinding on my rims, front is a Trialtech Sport 26" and my rear is a Clean 26". I've just received my bike of tarty thinking I'd asked them to do it for me but I will have to learn i guess.. is it as hard as it looks? are there certain grinding blades you need to stop it slicing straight through the rim? I've just had these delivered brand new and i don't really fancy f**king them up straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Thin steel cutting discs x2. One disc one rim, one disc another. 45° angle, very little pressure = spot on. Used this method every time and it was spot on for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/maintenance_rim_grinding/m2.html Watch that, should tell you pretty much all you need to know, if you can find any old bike wheel/rim to practice on that will help as you'll get a feel for it. Try and match the harshness of your grind to the pads you are using, too light a grind and your pads won't work as well as they could. Too harsh and you'll just increase pad wear/ reduce the life of the rim. Wgat pads do yu have? Wow, just wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 That's fine. Watch the video, get an old scrap wheel to practice on if you aren't confident or get a friend to do it for you whilst you watch and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack dickinson Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 For the harsest grind, hold the grinder at 90。 to the rim and go roind as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's easy to do man. Watch the video and it'll all become clearFor the harsest grind, hold the grinder at 90。 to the rim and go roind as usual. Mate what the f**k, why don't you look at your keyboard when you type or look at your messages before you press post? I'm only trying to help you as a friend but people will stop taking the piss out of you if you look before you post because some stuff you post is fairly helpful it's just you're rushing your posts and make you look silly.
