Tyre Grover

[Sibbo]

Hey,

Anyone got a tyre grover and would like to practice their slick cutting technique, without the risk of wrecking a prefectly good slick?

Well I have a used slick, that I would like to run on the road (yes, I know all the problems with lack of cold/med grip), but need a few legality grooves (yes, i know it does not make it legal) to keep the plods at bay.

Anyone out there in Melb wanna help me out :?:

[Flash]

I'll bring over my soldering iron, and give it a bash! :D

Sibbo, Chris at B Components has a tyre groover and is listed elsewhere in the archive for contact details.

Plods at bay, yeah right. I've seen you ride :D

[Sibbo]

Thanks Danno. Im a lot more sedate on the roads in traffic.

Ash: Thanks, but I have another offer, you migh tbe able to glue the wet back together when I run that after the slick goes "bald".

[Sibbo]

No go from Chris. No groover at the mo.

Anyone else got one and wants to cut some expermental groves. I will report back re how soon it too me to fall off and how it felt on the way down.

Ive got a stanley knife and a carton of piss :shrug:

He's to snobby for that, he nocked my attemp to help as well. :lol:


Hmmmmmm maybe I should have suggested the beer as well :?

Ive got a stanley knife and a carton of piss :shrug:
I might give that a go...except without the piss ;)

[Sibbo]

I have just worked it out.

If I use an old (read tiny) angle grinder disk, I should be able to make nice flowing smooth cuts in the slick.....or cut a hole in it.

Hang on....even better. I set up the triton with only a few mm of blade showing and just turn the tyre over it to make a cool "legal" tred pattern.

[Wobbly]

I'd strongly recommend the carton :)

[Sibbo]

Do you want me to kill the tyre first go, or on the last go. Cos piss and me doing anything dont mix! yes, like picking up trailor trash!

[Flash]

It looked more like trying to pick up :lol:

[Wobbly]

That was quite hillarious :lol2:

[Sibbo]

I stand corrected. No I did not get to improve that little girls life. Unfortunate for her.

Go on sibbo, then we can all use it! :lol:

[Sibbo]

But that would defeat the purpose of having a 6r that I dont spend any money on.

Not in any ruch for a grover, cos just picked up a really good D208, which will give me at least 10K ks.

Just out of interest, how much are the grovers?

[RohaN]

well my mate has one,
its not as spiffy as that one for sale above, but it works :D

i'd say be my guest & come use it, but i'm in syd :?

[Muzzard]

Heres a novel way...
Drive some 4" bullet head nails into the fence, wallride the sucker while doing a high chair burnout, the nails should cut nicely into the tyre if spaced evenly, eh?
Should be all within your limits Sibbo.. :shock:

[Wobbly]

And you've given up drinking you say....? :)

[Flash]

Maybe he needs to start again. :lol:

[Muzzard]

Dont need drink mate, unless its to wash down this handful of Ecky's :lol: ...
