Simon Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Shame tar is shit, and you'll no doubt stop using it before you even use one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 It isnt even that good, yeah the bite and hold is good, but it makes this freeking minging sound lmaoSo, if it make a better sound it would be good in your opinion?That's a shag load of tar, should last you 7 lifetimes.

Matthew_Gibson Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 I hate grinds for a few reasons:1) I can't do a good one 2) I can't be arsed doing it! TAR RULES on Zoo! pads!And the sound is good! i don't like brake that don't make a noise, when its loud I think its working better!, and people move out on my way! Don't work in the wet! and neither do my pads! Well thats my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well thats my opinionI grind my rim like once every 3 ish mounths my brake works it squeeks so you can hear it ime quite impressed/pleased with the hold and i don't have to fanny arround with tar.Also if i can grind a rim a monkey with a blindfold on and its hands tied behind its back can you get the idear.Tar sucks.

Watson© Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Ohhhhhhhhh I hate tar... had to learn the hard way one time I would highly advice you to get rid of it and just grind your rim... best and safest option Watson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I'm not too keen on using tar, as the pads sometimes stick to the rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Tar only makes you pad stick to your rim is you keg your rim with it (no surprise) but it rarely does otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
