The wheels were the last part of the bike i wanted to change, and they turned out to be a long process so they got left until last. the red wheels looked ok in the pictures but they had started to fade, the rear being worse than the front, and the spokes were a mess. After looking at the bike in person you would say the wheels let the bike down.
i had the rims shot blasted and powdercoated gloss black by the same guy who did my rear sub frame.
the spoke wraps i bought months ago were used because they could be slid onto the ends of the spokes
