WHEEL REFURBISHMENT


Recommended Posts

Posted

Got Smart Solutions coming out on Monday to sort out the scuff on my front wheel - they reckon it'll be sorted in a couple of hours - we'll see [:)] Was going down to Spit and Polish as recommended by Markie but its far easier for me at the moment to get it done at home - thanks anyway for the recommendation Mark [:P

They seem to charge £55 plus vat per wheel regardless of the state they're in  - I'd only scuffed mine about 6ins along the rim so on a £ for £ basis its perhaps not as cheap as someone who's riding in the gutter and constantly smacking the rims on the kerb [:o] Markie recommended me to Spit and Polish but it wasn't convenient to leave the wheel there for 24 hours - no idea what they charge.

thanks Dean - that makes me feel better - only needed 6in of rim doing on mine so could have had the whole wheel done and saved money - may as well go and smack up a kerb [:o]

Yes, I'm very happy with it - he was on site about 45 mins - cleaned off all the sh*t, 're-rimmed' it, rubbed down a small scrape I had on a spoke then sprayed and lacquered. My wheels have only been on a couple of months so obviously matching the  colour wasn't a problem for him - I would imagine that if your wheels are that bit older and been much more subjected to the weather it would take that bit longer to colour match so all 4 are the same.

As I say, I'm very pleased with the work - the wheel looks like new and by the time its as dirty as the others it'll look exactly the same lol. Sorry no pictures - even if I had taken any I wouldn't have a clue how to post them [:$] Are you going to Japfest Saturday? If not and you want to pop by and have a look, I'm just off Plumstead Common pm me.
