    That does make sense, and the TAR, would act as a rosin and make the
    brakes be more responsive.

  5. Useless in wet conditions. Makes your brakes no work.

  6. You can always just use Coke, it makes your brakes alot more responcive
    but washes off in wet conditions, this also means you need to re apply
    it all the time though...

    People who throw stones at you are quietly saying, "shoot me," they're
    just not being verbally expressive enough.

    Haha I have only ever put it on my rims with just dipping my finger in
    coke then spinning the wheel, repeat a few times and they are typically
    good. Not to mention you dont waste a whole coke dumping it all over
    your bike
