Sanding painted rims
I've got a pair of late 1980's painted Campy rims. Does anyone know how much sanding I can do and stay in the safe zone? Braking is mediocre at best......

Painted rims? Sanding?
Have you thought of trying out some Kool-Stop brake pads?

Are you talking about rattle can painted rims? If the rims are alloy (and probably are), you are better off using a chemical remover (and prey they are not anodized).

Sorry, I wasn't clear. They're the Omega hardox rims. I guess it's anodizing, but it's very thick, and the brakes do not grab very well. I'll try some more aggressive pads.
