pike64421 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 i use a bit of sand paper rub up and down it cleans the rim and give the tar something to stick to on a cold day and it look nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up'n'away Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 (edited) Use deodrant Litetrally runs off the rim like water I tryed this but it didnt work aswell to be honest, then my mate told me about petrol, tryed it and then it ran off like water!

MrsMonkey Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 or you could just use white Or not. White spirit contains oils, so when the alcohol dries off it will leave a residue on your rim. Get hold of dome organic solvents like ether or something.x Dani x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 i sometimes use white spirit to clean my rim of old tar and i think white spirit works better than tar to be honest my brake never slipped when i had just cleaned my rim and the noise hehe sounded like coust pads but now its all about grinds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Just get some fairy liquid on it, works a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 if its a smooth rim use furniture polish, it cleans off all the crap and after its dried the brake locks like nothing else on this earth, apart from grinded rims... they definately beat smooth ones anyday.

totaltrials Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 chloroform or isoprophanol, you can't beat them, they will get anything off, just don't touch it or breath it in Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Greenthumb Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 don't use tar? remove with an angle grinder, gets rid of the tar and gives you a grind, two birds with one stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilky_mod_legend2 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Or, you could be really clever and grind it off,1, removes ALL tar, and doesnt leave chemicals on the rim2, Gives a MUCH better grind in this poor weather.To be honest makes more sense CheersWilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JT! Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 What is tar? (help please)Black sticky stuff used in tarmack (roads and shit). Slap it on your rims your pads grip better to the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
