My 1980 XT250 has alloy rims. Gold anodised i believe. Not bad condition, no major dents or gouges but as im restoring the bike to ‘near new’ I’d like to do something with them. I’ve been told by a wheel restorer re-anodising would be difficult and advised to powder coat or find new rims (which seems impossible).
The rear is an awkward 17” devil and hard to find a new rim for. The front not so difficult. Would an 18” fit?
I know there are some xt owners on the site, any advice other than stick with what you got?
Does powder coat risk chipping when fitting tyres?
cheers
