I had to replace my front wheel. I have to either paint the front wheel black or the back wheel gold. I like either choice equally. I have never taken a tire off a mc wheel. i"m sure it's a little more complicated than a bicycle. How do I break the bead? Any advice on painting the wheel? Putting it back together?
Is it June yet?

Just paint it with the tire on  ;)


I've seen your bike-no one will notice or care. Easier would be probably to paint the gold one black. Also, less cleaning.



I can do this for you some time if you'd like.

That would be nice. I can bring the bike to you this time. Tell me what paint you would recommend (cheap, crummy spray or something special?) and where to meet you. I agree with black because I don't wash my bike. At all (okay, rarely).

What? Remember that time I told you my wonderful method of blocking the drizzle and wind with my body while I painted to get an even coat? If that's not proper technique I don't know what is  [cheeky]

Give me two weeks and we can do it in my new garage. I like rustoleum, personally. I probably have a can already, and some masking tape.
