Restoring black ukai speedlines advice

<< < (2/2)

Hi,

Just the same question I had, I have a a set with white trimline inserted in and was wondering if there was another way to remove and reveal the shine. I read on another tread that oven pride removes anodising not sure if that would work with a fine brush then washing off.

If so? have you anodise em black but me with no knowledge how do you keep the white lines in the rim if you know what am talking about, As anodising would cover it up, also the side of the rims to keep them silver where the brake wears happen. I would appreciate any advice and guide that would help greatly

Are they for an E.T?  If so, the sides should be black, ideally.  A used bike would have lost the black because of brake wear so I suppose you could go down that route but I think it's quite hard to mask off areas when anodising so black sides would be easiest.  I have no idea how paul could mask the speed lines to keep them silver so anodising the rims black then machining the lines and sides seems the only way you could restore a set of those rims.  It would probably be simpler to find a decent set of survivor rims so you could have the sides polished.  I know they're not exactly common anymore so I expect they'll be mucho $$$$.   ::)

I've seen some re-machined ones after a full anno, sounds easy if you have someone to do it for you  ;)
