Title: Shine Side Rims.
Post by: Macmania on June 01, 2010, 02:01 PM: What is the best method for removing the anno from a wheel rim to create a shine side without making a balls up of the anno on the inside of the rim ? Thanks :)

Post by: Weeksy on June 01, 2010, 02:23 PM: I would say start with 800 quid wet and dry on a rubbing block, to minimise the risk of going over the 'corners', then go up to 1000 grit, 1200, then 1500

Cheers

Weeksy

That explains why I got no response to my wanted thread ... ''Block paved chainring 44T wanted'' :D

Them rims and chainwheel are untrue mate :4_17_5:

Nath , Mr costa is right imo , you want to start with something a bit coarser than 800's , use a sanding block like weeksy said too to keep it flat ;) I can see a resto thread ' before and after' here Nath :daumenhoch:
