Re: [doc] question about refurbing alloys

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Phil

i did try there...they did not seem really interested...chap was 
outside having a fag waited ten minutes then claimed he did not know 
i was in there (i'd pulled up with a front wheel in my hand!).

he said he was not sure he could do it, because of the splines.
he would have a go at £65 a wheel, just did not inspire confidence.
maybe you had a different chap or its changed hands.

i've took it to lap-tab in birmingham.

Do you know if yours were wet sprayed?.

Regards

Steve
