Title: Araya Aero / Suzue Hub Resto
Post by: Zippy on March 28, 2006, 12:13 AM

I've got a set of Araya aeros that need retoration to make them shine, they're in really good nick considering they're over 20 years old but they could do with stipping and polishing. I've stripped the one wheel down already but fo you suggest I strip the hubs down as well and polish them or shall I just buy another set for £30. They're Suzue, but non-sealed. All the parts are silver and need dipping in caustic to get the anodizing off.

Any suggestions, or shall I just flog them now before I've put in all the hard work.
