gasket remover, interesting, thanks :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: ive removed powder with nitromoors in the past, but under the plastic layer, it does seem to be like a glued on rubber substance, like a gasket  :daumenhoch:

Not all gasket removers will work, I know Permatex will but you may have to experiment.

takes ages but it comes off.

Just how many threads do we still get regarding spoke lengths even though I did a walkthrough.  >:(
