Did you even sand the frame or just buff it?

No sanding at all it was rawed with stripper and I polished it up with fine steel wool and used mothers polish and a foam buffing wheel and went to town on it.

I rawed and polished the Ruben.
I haven't cleared it yet, I'm trying to decide if I want to throw a trans color on it.
Any suggestions on if I should clear it as is or throw down some trans paint?

Tree-Sport wheel set would be amazing.  I would do Ribcage to Tree hubs.  Could you imagine how fucking stiff that wheel would be?!?!!?!?!


The rear is a ribcage and the front is a birdcage!
They are super solid.

stoked on having this chain, and soon being able to match it up with the 25t MDS I just scored. My bike will be at an all time high of grindability

Did it fit fine?

let us say it's anodised (I'm doing some stuff soon that I would like to be polished, not just raw.)


If the part is anoed then there is a few ways you can strip it, The best way I have found is dollar store oven cleaner. spray the part let it sit for no more than 15 min and scrub the hell out of the part with fine steel wool and then rinse the part and repeat until the part is a dull raw color similar to this.


********Be careful not to leave the part in the oven cleaner too long because it can cause the aluminum to start to pit .
and then use some kind of polishing compound and a buffing ball or a rag.
you can keep polishing with the compound as much as you want.

This was my end result. but I could have kept on with the polishing but I was lazy and quit.

I even did the bolts and cones.

tim what are your steps to polishing


It depends on if the hub is originally anodized or painted/powdered.

I also did my elites the other day.
the original ugly green.


New pretty & polished!

Tim is an awesome seller, everything I have bought from him has been in just as described condition or better. No hidden scratches or anything. The wheel I bought was perfectly straight, well lubricated and clean. Shipped super fast as soon as payment was received. Overall great seller, would definitely buy from him again


:cheers:
