MT350 WHEEL BUILDING / REFURBING

[vtrsp1da0]

Have spent many hours on these

So just had to show them off

These are the road ones and have done a pair of off road ones that are on the bike

Rims powder coated
Hubs powder coated
New spokes/nipples
New bearings

I was thinking of offering the service to other members?

[Mr Shiney]

I have been doing this for awhile. Powder coating is great on the hubs but does not last on the rims.

It's a pain in the ass job. What's your price?

[vtrsp1da0]

Steve your right it is a pain in the arse job

What would you use on the rims?

I havent even thought about price yet i guess it depends on the interest if its worth doing?

Weren't they anodized originaly? would it not be possible to them re treated?

I would anodise again. I have an anodising kit from from frosts that you can also apply colour to. If you are going to do stuff on a regular basis this is the way to go.

Powder coat on the rims is fine until you chip it the first time changing a tyre or off road. The mag then reacts with air and it peeks quicker than a Thai hooker.......

Could you do a thread on your the frost kit. I looked at it ages ago but might have the space next year.

I can do. What do you want to know? It works really well. Quite a few options on the dye kits for colour. You anodise first and them dye afterwards.
