griptape

haha, lawl griptape will RAPE ur wheel, get a brake that is a softer metal such as aluminum , if u already do, i got 2 questions. 1 what brake do u have? and 2, how worn down is ur wheel?

 

[tomn8r]

as in the contact of the wheel and underside of the brake is not very good/slippery/not grippy and its shocking when i try to do wheelies and tire taps

 

[tomn8r]

but what brand? point me in the right direction?

 

[DJ Lee]

razor old a brakes are fine, tsi flexfenders ii think, blade break, etc. and if u cut ur brake too short thatll also screw u up

 

[brody01134]

i think blade brakes are the best for stopping but i like my fakey brake

 

[BenJelinek]

my switchblade has no stopping power lol, i love it

 

[tomn8r]

blade brakes are good from what ive heard,
razor brakes are shocking after a while, i burnt through one, it turned coppery colour :S

 

[DJ Lee]

use an old a brake or b model brake, there hella thicker and aluminum. or get a blade, on my spare, i have an old a one and im satisfied with it

razors suck, i have one for like 3 months or 4 months and theres all ready like a valley were the wheel makes contact

the switch blade is just terrible for tire taps to be honest i dont even kno why i bought it anymore.

 

[parrish]

cause it make yo scoot-scoot sound like a baketabawl

get a softer wheel lol.

 

[josh G]

i think he means slippy on the top of the brake lol, you could but dents in it with a screwdricer and a hammer, might add some grip. if it dont youll just have a brake with a fuckload of dents in lol

 

[parrish]

hahahaha

Agreed haha it's actually hard to manual

 

[tomn8r]

john as in under the brake, not on top, the wheel is a brand new eagle core and its shocking to manual

get a blade/madd gear break or if u are in australia u could get a mgp brake.
