onza t-jammy Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 if you are a beginner then its ok but when you start doing hevy statics and back wheels then i would recomend tar on a medium grinded rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramps Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 It's a bit off topic but I am sure that like all other new members you would like to be validated. Yes? Well type in full words and sentences, spell things correctly and punctuate properly. It took me a long time to read your post because of the errors. ON TOPIC:What would you class as a 'begginer'? Are we saying your up to say Ali C's level of riding? Are you just around average? Elaborate. As a rule that brake spray just makes your brake stick on if you over spray it, which is easily done. It leaves a mess all over the inside of your rim as well. It doesn't do much for you in the rain so as said previously a grind would be far better as it coming to winter.

SubZero Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Monty Spray is loud as hell....and makes your rims look ugly! but it works....but hairspray is the same just cheaper! Grind your rim! martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James@swanseatrials.com Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 i used monty brake spray when i am lining up a trick that could go terribly wrong so you need a solid brake e.g. railings, large gaps etc! if you are riding smaller things i would just set the brake up nicely using a 4 bolt method if possible then a light bit of tar with a tidy pad and you ll be fine matey! monty brake spray is quite strong to be honest!

Walleee Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 yeh hairspray is much the same just a thinner sorta mixture with less of the sticky stuff than the actual monty stuff. I'd rather use it than tar as it is slightly more predictable, but yeh, hair spray is fairly good..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James@swanseatrials.com Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 hmm thats a good shout! i have never thought of using that. the energy drink Kick in tesco is amazing on the rim. drop a few drops on the rim and leave for a fe wminutes to dry and it should work like magic. The only downfall to this is that it doesn't last very long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridport-Rider-Dave Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you have clean rims and pads then it is good, but when you put on dirty rims it gets really sticky and your brake never lets go , also if you apply to much it works to well and your brake never releases.If you apply with a cloth you dont put on as much so you can apply more if needed but if you put lots on its hard to take some away.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 If you get any Monty brake spray dripping over onto the flat bit of the rim, then you'll have s white stain left, that's hard to get off. Does the job though I guess, i'd rather have a good grind, or some tar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
