Did you strip rims with anything first or just polish away?

neiljonarcus · « **Reply #16 on:** April 05, 2009, 02:14 PM »

stripped with caustic soda from b&q

Neil, great job fella.
I could not help but have a little snigger at the error you made, as I have done the same in the past;
Cutting a wheelset down, through the spokes, without removing the freewheel first. They are a right biatch to get off afterwards, without the rim to use as leverage!
Looks like you managed though, well done mate.

ad i wanted to stab myself when i was trying to split the freewheel . it was because the sink was full of caustic and i only had 1 tub of it left . the tub that was in the sink and i had bought a tool to split the freewhell but it was 3 days delivery so i just went for it . never again tho it took me and my brother and some old vice nearly half hour to split it

It's been suggested before in jokes but you should think about offering a polishing resto service for those Radsters who either haven't got the patience/ability/kit/time etc - sure you'd get a fair bit of trade mate & get the hobby to pay for the hobby
