Heat dispersal issues with Bicycle brakes

See the previous reply.

I think there are some corners that are a bit sharp for that.

Angle grinder?

 

I haven't seen any folding bikes of this size with disks on otherwise I
would.

Stopping power is not so much of an issue.

Physics aside, it'll still slow you down quicker. Trust me.

Take the wheel off, strip the tyre off and get your files out. If
it's simply a lumpy weld then you can just file it down. The rim will
be an aluminium alloy so easily done.

If it's a dink in the rim then get an adjustable spanner on it and
bend it back in.

If god-forbid, your rims are steel then change them for aluminium
ones. Steels rims are lethal, especially when wet.

 

Really, have you heard this elsewhere.

Now that idea I like, trouble is I don't eat margarine, will yoghurt do?

Oh, not debating that, but I don't want to stop and the back brake is
powerful enough.

OK thanks, I'll try that.

I'm sure they're not but out of interest how would I know?

I'll be taking the wheels of soon so I'll have a look.

Ever heard of magnets?

 

Ah yes... But any alloy containing a ferrous metal is magnetic, does
this necessarily make it a bad material for manufacturing rims?

Have you got a magnet?

Steel sticks to the magnet, the other doesn't.

Tell you what you come and have a go, I'll be sure to tell that to the
coroner.

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Simian

Hong Kong News Agency

A middle-aged British cyclist caused Hong Kong to grind to a halt today
in a bizarre series of traffic accidents. The man attempted to traverse
the entire width of the city without stopping by pedalling furiously
down Magazine Gap and jumping several sets of traffic lights, causing
traffic chaos as cars collided with each other in their attempts to
avoid him.

The man, known only as 'Bob123', vigorously denied to police that he was
an unemployed stuntman and said he'd be having stern words with people
who gave him braking advice on the internet. He admitted he enjoyed
going for a good spin now and again, but refuted the notion that he was
an armature.

In general aluminium alloys aren't magnetic and steel ones are.

Steel rims are bad because the surface is too smooth and in the wet
there is virtually no friction.

 

Presumably that's why my old bike which was hewn from granite had rims
that were pitted, and I suspect steel.

They are 7 photos bolted together and the genuine article is 9662 X 2487
and makes a 70 MB Bitmap file. I've tided up the joins between the
photos as the canon photo stitch software tends to **** up anything
random like the sea and the CCD noise in the sky, the only tools I used
were paint and irfanview.

It looks amazing, there's something about cities at night when seen
from a high vantage point. You know there are thousands of lives and
stories being played out below but all you can see is the
architecture.

of them"
