Title: tuff wheels refurb first time colour change
Post by: harris on June 08, 2006, 04:28 PM

these tuffs were a bad bad colour bleached them rubbed them down dyed them they were still different colour
so i had a go at plastic spray tuff as old boots stuff .they are only one this bike to see what they look like ,they
will only be for stand alone not for riding on so what the hell at least they match.please dont slate me for doing this
to much its just a trial you no if you never dip your toe.(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d87/harris15570/Image749.jpg)(http://)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/d87/harris15570/Image815.jpg)

If you dyed them first, you should not be able to see brake rub to much anyway.
