Title: Reburbing Splits (Best Companies)
Post by: Ads on 08 May 2005, 17:42: Hey.

I guess there are many topics on Rebrubing wheels but i couldnt find a sticky so ill start this one.

I have a set of G60 BBs RMs which need a good reburb soon. Ill be replacing the dishes with
new Stainless Steel Dishes so they wont need a reburb, just the centres (where spokes are).

Anyway ideally id like some 'local' companies so thats around East Sussex area. Has anybody had there wheels
refurbed before if so how much does it cost? Ive heard standard refurb is Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£50.00 just wondering if being spilt rims
it would be more?

Cheers Adam
