Thank you!Now I just grinded my rim. Quickly I pulled the angle grinder, so sharp was the edge. Slowly I pulled so long ago were small and blunt edges. Thank you again for your help!

@MrHattyu

No problem! :)

[MrHattyu]

No, I'm thinking of grinding. How to normal grinding. A direction to pull the machine, or back and forth. Simply because I can never normally grinding. (Sorry for my bad english knowledge)

@MrHattyu

I see. When you are grinding it, you want to grind it in 1 direction (towards yourself is easiest) and work your way around the rim, dragging the angle grinder toward you and grinding a section of about 5cm-10cm at a time. Try and do this at roughly a 45 degree angle. Work your way around slowly doing the same amount each time until you get back to where you started. Try and use a brand new disc on the grinder too for best results.

Hello! What do you think about the LGM from TNN? I also now want a TNN LGM. And yet I want to ask only one direction or back and forth, grinding the wheel?

THANKS

Sven

@MrHattyu

The LGMs are good. When I first put them on I wasn't impressed, but they improved over time and now they are pretty awesome.

I don't understand your second question. Are you asking whether its good to grind the rim? If so, then the answer is yes. Grinding my rear rim was one of the best things that's happened to the bike. It makes the rear brake infinitely more powerful.

Thats one hell of an obedient bike... mine could never stay still like that

@ajoyner

Its expensive but you get what you pay for. I must have had mine in there for 4+ years now and its still running perfectly.

[ajoyner]

How do you like the skf-600 bottom bracket? Is it holding up good?
