Havent been in touch with anyone yet so prices for aqua blasting would be good, however if aqua blasting wont shift brake rub, then theres no way it will shift the crap on these :(
I plan to have one wheel finished by Tuesday, so will post a pic then :daumenhoch:

Once you have stripped the paint an aqua blasting or soda blasting would bring them up a treat.  Break rub needs to be removed with something more aggressive as it is the heated residue of the brake block, a stanley blade is very effective at this and should be done before you get them blasted  :daumenhoch:

Suppose its how long it takes the guy - the front cost me tenner and rear is not as bad so he reckons a fiver/ten max.

I do take all my stuff there and so does Spen, so he gets other work from us. This keeps him busy when he has no other car wheels to do etc.

;)
 

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
so would you be up for dealing with him for a cut ?   

if you find a regular price for a pair - freewheel removed or will that get messed with ?

i have two sets of reds and two sets yellows that need doing - i can get them all in one box there for around £8.50 and £8.50 back

but what would you want if you were to handle it to them or does he want to start up some thing that is sent straight to him - that is if any thing is a go ahead ?

have a think and let us all know mate  ;)

cheers B  :angel:

I will have a chat with him when I drop the rear in - he may not want the hassle but you never know.. The problem there are no guarantees with it but he would still want his money for trying.

I have a set of yellow ones that are faded and I am taking them too, lets see what happens..

It was only a 'Brain Fart' of mine - but if the others come out as good its worth exploring further.

Not selling mine as they are only worth £90 tops  :-\ and when you have invested time in them its not worth it.

Sprocket and bearings and axles would have to be removed though.

Sid.  :daumenhoch:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
cheers mate - ask him and it could be a good thing for you both, if it was a go ahead and if you both wanted - it's just worth exploring and then we know one way or another  :daumenhoch:

stay tuned folk  ;)
