New skyways stopping in about a mile

(1/4) > >>

adeshere:
So,i have some new tuffs and original skyway freestyle tuff pads and the braking is crap

I seem to remember something about ruffing the rim or brake pads with sand paper or similar

Is this right ?

RATTY:
Dont attack the rims :shocked:
Are the shoes toed in correctly!!!
Ie: do they meet up square when you pull the brake!

othomas2:
Yes, I've heard lightly sanding the pads will help.

Also heard that rubbing coca cola onto the rims/pads is also good for stopping power.  :D

priv:
i heard that if you squirt cillit bang on the brake surface that works aswell

gavking:
As ratty says toe the pads in they will work a lot better dont sand rims or put coke on them unless they are chrome!!!
Tuffs dont work with coke but a night out goes a hole lot better.
