Hi Chaps I need some advice for somthing I have not jet done before.

I have several fantic hubs where the steel (or iron?) lining is visually worn out. I think the hubs need glass blasting and powder coating also. So heres my question.

Who can do the lining and in what order should I do it?

Do I do the cosmetics first and then have the hub relined? Should I rebulid the wheel first? Any advice on who can reline and what it may cost

thx in advance

Lee,

It is very difficult to remove powdercoating with glassblasting.
First they need a bath in a "paint remover", then a light glass blasting.
After that the relining and at last light glassblasting directly followed with the powdercoating.

Dave Renham - 'INMOTION' Egham Surrey UK- 01784440033 -relined my 240 hubs. From memory I think that it cost about £80/£90 pounds. Best to contact him about the price as I may be out.

I didn't bother painting mine up, but I would imagine that the relining work should be done first otherwise they'll get scuffed up badly during the engineering process.

Overall, it works out quite a pricey business building up a new wheel, what with relining hubs, then getting new rims spoked up to those hubs.

Walter.
