If it's a show pony then follow Marty's guide :daumenhoch:

And seriously, get a small electric detail sander - it will be much faster :daumenhoch:

If you do as Spen say's and use a detail sander you can have them done in 1/2 an hour , that includes hand finishing them . Done a few sets myself .

Now polishing spokes is a different ball game ........ that is the most boring thing you can ever do !!

If you were closer ED i'd do them for you foc but it will probably cost you £10 each way to post them ;)

Post by: Skratchski on April 26, 2014, 11:57 AM: the detail or palm sander is the way ed. ive just refurbed some arayas and it took no time. get some vecro tape and stick it to wet and dry so you can use it on the sander. (if u know what i mean)
