Title: Re: MY NEXT 3 BUILDS MK2 GOOSE
Post by: h2ggv on March 18, 2012, 09:04 AM: Just cleaned the spokes :)

Didn't do much yesterday as we picked Our new dog up.

Will get the chrome frame one finished today and wait till the motomags and frame come Wednesday. And the frame should be powder coated by then.

Fitted the redline bb that was the 1st one I have done a little trickie and tight :(

Post by: BMX1973 on March 19, 2012, 05:30 PM: Those calipers and wheels look 1st class :4_17_5:

How did you get those wheels & hubs so blinging without removing the spokes? Must have been a nightmare getting into the Knnoks & Crannies!

Looking forward to seeing these built.

:daumenhoch:

How I done the wheels.

1. Sprayed the wheels with loads of engine degreaser let them soak for 20 min.

2. Went over them with fine wire wool and a stiff toothbrush in the hard to reach places.

3. Repeated step 1 :D

4. Wire wool again and also sprayed with wd40 type oil

5. Done the spokes with heavy wire wool.

6. Then put the wheels on the buffer then polished with peek.

7. Fitted new wheel nuts. The freewheel is the one that came with the wheels
:D :D

It's just all about time I normly just by nos parts or mint but it's much moe satisfying doing it yourself.

My local pound shop sells the sprays in 500mm tins so I use a lot of this
