I am mocling up the bike they will sit in and should have it finished in about a week. So wait for the pics. I hand sanded everything wet and that took me a couple of days. just a few hours every day after work. It's a total pita, but I didn't want to use a drill or buffing wheel with polishing compound because that will run very hot and possibly warp the rim. |
Oh and I did all the sanding/polishing with the rim unlaced so I could make an arc with my hands the center of which started roughly in the center of the imaginary wheel. So all sanding marks run along the radius of the rim, not against it.

Semi-derail: what are you guys using to keep aluminum shiny? I'm thinking my spring break project is going to be putting a mirror shine on my stem, cranks, etc. and I'm hoping I can hold off clouding for a while between polishings. Any clear coats, polishes, potions or incantations I should check out?
