ted Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 i was wondering! i run 26" white halo combats, and if i grindid them, would the value of the wheel when i sold it drop loads???i doubt anyone will buy it with a grind unless they do trials. before i started doing trials there was no way id buy a hub with loads of scratches on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 By the way the name is Bitumen, we just learnt about it in science (BORING!) but its made from crude oil or something. Anyway that is the spelling for it, if anyone wants it. Its the base material for tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGA1 Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Yes just rub it on, don't put on to much though, as it makes the pads stick to the rims even after you have released the brake lever, and can cause some nasty falls. I used to use tar, but i tend to stay away from it now. To be honest you're just better getting the rim grinded, it is much better.what pades do you run Edited October 26, 2006 by BIGA1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
