Brake rub on Tuff ll
« on: October 03, 2010, 08:53 PM »
Iv'e seen some alot of tuff's with brake rub on.   :( I've just changed my wheels to Black Tuff ll and at this moment have Dia Compe brake pads which are BLACK. Will these's pads be OK because there black? or will they mark? Should I be looking to get some black Tuff pads? are they made different to prevent marking?

Cheers  :daumenhoch:

All pads mark in some way as thats the nature of 'braking' but rocking black on black is going to make it less noticeable.

If you did get Tuff Pads then you would get more effective braking as they are made for the job  :daumenhoch:

I have Stodgy's best clear pads on my white tuffs, they leave brown/red marks, dependant on where you ride. I's clearly not the pads, but the muck they rub in.

All comes off with some magic elbow.

the best stuff i've ever used on tuffs is bar keepers friend, you can get it in asda. i tried loads of different things and nothing shifted brake rub as good as it, you dont need to use much elbow grease with it either. just a small amount on a damp cloth and away you go.

Was also tempted by various JML products... like that magic stain rubber... and cleaning gel... anyone tried those?
