im thinking off having my wheels powdered coated as the paint is started to flake quite badly would it be better to paint them or have them powder coated which is better quailty plus can anybody recommend where to have them done

Powder coating is better imo, try 1st Choice in Exeter. Did a great job on my wheels

Out of currousity Gavin how much did they charge you for each wheel.
Just i deliver to them most days and was going to approach them to do mine.

They did mine too - so I can also vouch for their quality (and speed - dropped them in one morning, ready for collection the following afternoon
)
Think it was £60 or £70 for the pair

Took mine to be powder coated at 1st Choice Finishers so hoping to pick them up in a day or two. They look pretty bad now so anything will be an improvement!!
I just hope getting them back on won't scratch them - or I'll go flippin' mental. Will ProTyres do a good job?

I saw yours in there today. If they are white??. Told them that you were from the site. Should do a good job they normally do. If not i will threaten them by accidently loosing thier parcels and powder paint.

When you go to 1st choice ask for Mike, tell him Kev Styles sent you and he should do you a better price, they used to sponsor me on the grasstrack.

Cheers Blimey!
Got them back today and they're good condition. Didn't realise I had to put the bearings back in for the front wheel to be re-balanced though
Even so, won't be able to put them back on the bike until I get back from France next week. Still, both have tyres on so will sort it out when I get back.
Cheers ProTyres and 1st Choice!
