I want to get my wheels stripped and re-powder coated. Is it possible to remove the tyres by hand, using tyre levers? Presumably rim protectors are a must. Or just take them to a motorcycle shop and get them to do it?
Take it to a garage, for what it will cost it will be worth not having the serious hassle and skinned knuckles.
My powder coater of choice, Steve Turner (TPCS, Melksham, Wiltshire), has all the kit to remove tyres and oil seals/wheel bearings. Unlike oven curing wet paint, the powder coating heat process is too high for the bearings to survive intact. Andy
