Fishy Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) No, makes a mess of your rim, if you use too much it makes your brakes stick to your rim. And it's just horrible stuff. Use tar OR just get a grind Edited November 15, 2006 by Joe Rothwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleee Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 It's a nice thing to have if one day your brke turns shit, but not worth relying on, I tend to prefer it to tar, but hairspray will work just as well, spray it on, and let it get a bit tacky, bobs yer uncle!

T-OM Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Spray tar thats the most stupid i have ever heard of why not just get some out of the road, off a telegraph pole, from a building site its bloody eveywhere Edited November 15, 2006 by T-OM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrex Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Spray tar that the most stupid thing i have ever heard of why not just get some out of the road. Tar out of the road is crap its full of stones, roof tar is the tits, there's no stones and it's really smooth and sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Spray tar thats the most stupid i have ever heard of why not just get some out of the road, off a telegraph pole, from a building site its bloody eveywhere Sort of ignorant of you T-OM, it's not tar, it's refered to as 'Tar in a can' because it works along the same principal of tar; making the rim stickier to improve hold and bite, it's simply a substance that goes sticky when it dries (as far as i know).I think it will be a nice little christmas present for your friend.The ol' hair spray jobbie works but possibly the Monty spray lasts longer?I'd say get it as it's only 5 pound and is a nice present for a friend...

Walleee Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Yeh monty spray is more specific, I guess it's a kinda thicker substance than hair spray, but I think it's essentially the same thing, certainley looks it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Monty spray lasts an hour at most. Gets durt and dust all over the rim. Is a pain to get off. But it doesn't fail to make your brake lock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-BT Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I think monty break spray is a good idea in the winter,In the summer all of the dust and mud which is lowing around does get stuck to it.if your buying it for a mate it seem like a nice gesture and a fiver isnt exactly a fortune to spend, i wouldnt buy it myself but its up to you really.nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Swindlehurst Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 humm... monty tar! not a good idea in my opinion ...just makes a mess of your rim if you are goin to use tar use road or roofing tar its the way forwardor the better option is USE A GRIND AND A DECENT SET OF PADS! all from me danny ...
