Lawnmowerman Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Did you grind your rim in the wrong direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pork Pie Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I've had this in the past. It was due to my grind. Are you running one? Anyway, it happens when your grind isn't 'straight'. As in, the cuts dont go towards the hub as much as they could. I recommend regrinding and just making sure it's a nice grind. If you don't have a grind, unlucky :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 i find that if you drag the brake whilst pushing your bike backwards helps :D it helps it grip better in the backwards direction for me anyways... also, the toe in/out of the pads has an effect(unless they are already inline) Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) I've had the same problem with my white heatsinks. They grip ace going forwards, but the slightest slip backwards and they let go. I dont think it has anything to do with the grind, but I think its more pad compound or something. The second I put my Plaz pads on, they worked ace straight off. James, have you tried any other pads on the rim, to see if they grip any better?
