skyways,cant stop

welsh denny:
if you really want your brakes to bite , sand top  skin off brake blocks. clean rims with water, feather brakes as wheel spins to catch dirt and wipe with dry rag. with chrome rims this should work great now but plastic wheels may need more so dab a little jif (or is it cif now) lemon on the rim and spin wheel. feather brake as it spins. this will work good, sometimes too good. if too strong make a mix of water & lemon to weaken strength & reapply. and dont ride near wasps. ha.

Hi,

I didn t try all the "tips", but I change the pad "style" to genuine skyway... and nothing "better"... (are the new and long ones)
I will try to "brake in" a little to see whats happen.

I wil try out also the cleanning issue of the wheel?
does some one try with automotive brake cleaner spray?

I have a pair of dia-compe pads...
I wil also try...

But I have a alu rims that are beeing build... hope that works in the end...
and Skyway wheels remains for "show-off-poser-style"...  :2funny:

any others ideas.. are needed.

by the way the skyway wheels and pads are black.
