I've got my hands on some nos haro muiltiserface tyres black/tan but the tan has gone very dark, is there anyway of bleaching them or brightening them a bit?

Dishwasher $:-\$ or Aqua blasting if you can be bothered

Aqua blasting?

This is how bad they are they to far gone to be fixed?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #4 on:** September 04, 2012, 03:32 PM »

Yeah aqua blasting

Its water and extremely fine glass powder. A few people a done skyways on here using it with good results. The place i use said they do quite a few tyres for classic cars to rejuvenate them

Not sure what they would work out price wise, or whether it would work on your tyres $:-\$

Can you find out for me?

oldschoolace · « **Reply #6 on:** September 04, 2012, 04:35 PM »

The place is up in Manchester so even if its cheap once it as been posted twice i doubt it would be worth it. Try looking locally

I would be inclined to leave them be, I think aqua blasting might fook em up completely $:-\$

They look like Babelovely specials to me. There was a batch of snide Haro tyres in Thailand and they had really dark sidewalls just like yours. I would stick them on a rider if that's what they are. $:-\$

They look real to me but what do I know, I might just sell them as there not for a rider and I want them to look mint!:)

Don't think you will get them walls any lighter....

Here are some fake Haro Thai-ers (see what I did there?) for you to compare.

Mdbh · « **Reply #14 on:** September 04, 2012, 08:07 PM »

Ithink il put them on the bike and see what they look like, I got them on a trade anyway so if I don't use em it's no big deal

I think natural hessian would give a more accurate colour match!

Try a bit of Cif first. That has a small bit of bleach in it. Aqua blasting would eat those walls away. So don't go down that route.

give them a go they will look great

Right fitted them and they don't look bad at all well I don't think so anyway so I guess that's all that counts, but scratching the wall with my nail looks like maybe a little rub with cif might work so il give that a go stu!:) il post pics on e my photo bucket stops crapping its self!:)

ED209 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 05, 2012, 04:45 PM »

Olly ... I gave the ones you let me have a good scrub with a nail brush and white Jif today and they have come up peachy

They are going on my Big Boy / Riot thing now
