Tim-Hill..Yeah Mate Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 hello,I use a smidge of tar on a heavy ground rim and it gets worn off in about 2-3 hours, its best just to keep applying it, you cant really control how fast it gets worn off. just keep applying Tim.

roby James124 Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hi Little but Lots Lots but little Let me now put this into english for you it is a lot better to put tar on your rims every hour and put a little bit on than, putting heaps of the stuff on but the only doing a few times a week. There are several reasons for this but the main one is if you put alot of tar on your rims the brake pads will stay stuck to your rims and not release the brakes. Hope this helps Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 no, maybe you just want a better brake. but you're "one of those" people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacks Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 that makes no f**kin sense what so ever.if your running a grind and still need tar, maybe you should change you pads.nowhen the grind is running out you need to improve braking without renewing grind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
