Araya Aero & GT Coaster Hub Resto

(1/3) > >>

Faze7-Ade:
I've had these wheels since new BITD, and they are in need of a bit of TLC.

They started life as silver anno araya aeros, a chrome GT coaster hub rear and suzue small flange front. After years in the garage, they look like this.....


Rims scuffed (and looking pretty rough on the braking surface)


Coaster hub showing signs of age


No sign of a shine anywhere

I've scanned the posts in tech  & resto to get all of the tips I can, and here are the results.....

Faze7-Ade:
First a bit of a polish up for the coaster hub, and a newer hub that I picked up at a very reasonable price at MK10


Then some oven pride treatment for the rims, and then some polishing.


Lace 'em up with some new SS spokes and give them a bit of a true up


Some new araya stickers care of Del and the finished wheels

Rodgy1970:

Faze7-Ade:
Now the only question is -

Skyways ?


OR

Arayas ?


What do you recon ?
