I am in the process of restoring a Raleigh Record Sprint and I’ve been looking at the wheels today. The original Weizmann concave rims are naturally worn on the braking surfaces and I’d like to get them re-powder coated . A couple of the eyelets have failed and dropped out also.
Should I mask off the concave bit to cover the eyelets and get someone to powder coat the rims, will it match, will our braces lock together, will my stomach growl?
Or, can you get replacement eyelets? Take them all out , powder coat and refit?
Bike will be a ceiling hanger so re-wearing off the braking surfaces won’t matter.
Also, who does correct gumwall 700c x 20mm tyres?
