Well, I started polishing the rear rim today. I left the tires on the bike though. I just took some extra time to cover the rubber with some duct tape to protect it. I'll post some pics later. I probably won't start the actuall polishing process till next weekend, but the alluminum color should go well with my 54's gun metal/black colo scheme.

Well here's the prep and you can see the finished product at the end. I didn't get to polishing them this weekend, just got em stripped and such. They look pretty good for not being polished though. Next weekend the fun will continue.

and finally

 

Looks great with your color scheme. BTW- that is the cleanest sprocket I have seen in a long time. Do you even ride your bike

 

what did u use to strip it cause i used aircraft stripper on my heelguards n it didnt do anyhting

 

Thanks. I do ride her almost every day, that's why I had to hold of on the polishing, gota ride her to work tommorow. I just cleaned the sprocket not too long ago.

I use Klean-Strip KS-3 Stripper. It's supposed to work in 15 minutes. The Aircraft cleaner should work also, but my heel guards don't have paint, do yours? If they don't have paint I would just start sanding with a 400-600 grain and work my way up to the 2000 gr. That would polih her up. I'm not sure if it has a clear coat or not, but if it did the AC stripper should have worked.

Once again, it looks great! cant wait to see how the polishing turns out. And that is a clean *** sprocket haha what do you clean your chain and sproket with?

thanks
