Do chrome rims stop gripping?

<< < (4/4)

streetStreet:
you probably had some sort of oil on the rim.

WoBBLE:
I still haven't had a chance to get out there to see how little difference my tinkering will have made, but I know the cable is a little... Dated. It's an old slic cable so could do with being replaced, and then lubed up.

For anyone wondering though, I'm pretty sure I have a decent enough set up to get solid braking power (evo 2, clear pads, OLD primo levers, and tiny tiny fit flow bars).

Will keep you guys updated!

WoBBLE:
I managed to fix my brakes by toe-ing in the pads to account movement for the calipers on the brake mounts (they wiggle quite a bit), and mostly by putting Jello mix on the rims!!! I applied a thin layer just after dissolving some, now it has 'set' it seems to be working wonders!
