Midschoolfool:
More fun with carbon !

Today's fun was prepping a HED 3 wheel for matt clear. The brake surface was covered in white shit. Oxidised really bad. Not done on that yet, but it's infinitely better. It's drying now, and will get matt clear tomorrow.



This side had tubular glue all over the lip. Hence why it will be more work.

Midschoolfool:
Done.





I did the fork too. Repainted the silver area black, leaving the exposed carbon section, then flat cleared the lot.

Midschoolfool:
And done.

Midschoolfool:
It's only the rear. I don't really like mags on the front. Oddly the fixie crowd are obsessed with them on the front with a spoked on the rear, which is weird.



That's how they will go. It's hilarious, because the front wheel is 7000 alu and even with all of the drive gear on the rear the rear still weighs less  :LolLolLolLol:

I do like the full disc wheels (like, carbon) but crosswinds where I ride would literally take you off the bike. That's probably why I am not fond of mags on the front. You can really feel it when it gusts.
