Title: White skyway refurb - tips from the pros needed!
Post by: NathanRelton on May 08, 2012, 05:44 PM

Evening, I have jut acquired an awesome white TA with original alloy hubbed white skyways. What is the best way to make them white again? Also rear wheel is buckled, is that a new hub or are there any nifty tricks I can try? Superbike Dan will soon be getting the frame and forks!

Just don't polish the Fook out of the hubs, they are meant to be plain alloy finish  :daumenhoch:

Is there a way of cleaning up the hubs and keeping them dull?
