Release powder?
« on: August 04, 2011, 11:37 PM »
Just swapping tyres on my one show bike for some nos comp 3's

Where does this stuff come from?

I don't remember it bitd, why don't new tyres nowadays come covered in this stuff?

My bike looks shite with em on, looks like it's been ridden through cement dust...  :-\

Looked better with the used tyres on...  :crazy2:

And i've been washing grips and stripping some pedals (again).... i must be mental....  :idiot2:

Don't even know if it'll fit in the car yet?

Gotta love last minute preparation....  ;D





2 minutes turkish...

It doesnt happen now because now they use an aerosol silicone based release agent [damn something from one of summer jobs in a rubber factory has come in useful!!!]

If it's a rider it'll not last long  ;) .

If it's a show bike leave it IMO .

WD40 gets it off and will leave your tyres nice and clean.

I heard it's really good on brake blocks too to stop that annoying squealing noise  :daumenhoch:
