Next time you want to remove rust from any metal part, try this. go to the hardware store and buy some deck and fence cleaner with oxilic acid in it. Mix up a batch in a plastic tub, drop the parts in it and let it soak for a day or two. Ive been restoring classic BMX bikes for years and this trick gets rid of the rust without any of the labor. it would have eaten away the rust on those spokes. Scuff, tack cloth and paint.
@@kubakubiczek Rinse with water afterwards and dry it off. Put a fan on it if needed and get it into primer if you are going to paint and if it's chrome, dey it off and give it a good polish so it will shine. It can't being back chrome that has been eaten away but it removes the surface rust perfectly without all the tedious work.
Hey man. I enjoy watching your builds especially on a budget. Saying that before I spent the money on a ultra sonic cleaner I use to use a deep fryer. Seriously… hit a thrift store you can pick them up for under $20 then use what ever cleaning product you prefer just be mindful of the flashpoint of the chemical. It’s saves so much elbow time on projects. Works fantastic on carbs and other small parts. Hope this helps.
Looks much better! Dry baby powder works well on the tube/tire when mounting if you want to keep things dry. When ya got em off always good habit to put them on a stand ... true em up and balance them. On spoke rims you can use solder around the spoke as your wheel weight. Keep it up ! 🤙
Well-done m8 on a great budget way to do it and you can allso have got them powder coated after you cleaned and wire brush them u need to find a local powder coating place it would make alot of your stuff look cool and it's cheap if u do the prep work keep it up from new Zealand supporters 👍
Great work. Respect for your patience removing all that rust. This Kenda tire is a good choice. Drove it myself. It´s good on the street and off road as well. Btw: It couldn´t harm checking ballance before installation. But probably you know that.
Golden Tip For The Gold Guy, if you lay the tireside in the middle groove of the rim (with some force applied, you dont need to use 4 big screwdrivers to get him of. Then he almost comes of from his self, and not risking to damage the inner tube, if you want to reuse that one. when that side is done you pull the inner tube and the other side of the tire comes off on the same side without any help, that groove is designed for that reason.
Hey rustoleum makes a rust remover that removes deep surface rust. I think that woulda knocked out all the rust off the spokes. But nice work, beautiful wheels
Dude ,when some thing as old as your project is first i put some heat on the fastener rusted small or large.using caution not to destroy it.then some liquid wrench
Wow... I've never seen anyone put the tube on before fitting one side of the tyre onto the rim first. Or use tyre levers to fit the other side of the tyre on the rim. That's what rubber hammers are for. I was surprised to see that the hubs were painted. Earlier models were of aluminium that you could polish, just like the forks. Things are looking good ! ( binge watching here )
Hey Goldguy nice videos from you. Nice work, the wheels have been neatly restored. Putting your tires back on your freshly painted rims can cause scratches. With some playing cards clamped between your rim and tire you can always touch up the spots. I also fix up motorbikes but never make a movie out of it maybe a good idea. Greetz from the netherlands😎
What about the tie wrap method for putting the tyres on or the plastic rim protection kit to stop the rims from getting damaged, i know it’s to late for that but it’s useful for the future. Great wee video man.
Nice work restoring the rims...hopefully the paint will last. I also noticed you didn't balance the tire, nor lined up the white dot on the tire (lowest weight point) with the valve-stem. Probably not the biggest deal, but could be significant. Hard to tell.
Not ballancing front tire can be really fatal at fast bikes (don´t ask how I know). But with a smaller dual sport bike I would not expect trouble. However, I would at least check, if the wheels are too much out of ballance. May be he´ll do it before installing wheels.
Hey man. Been watching ur videos for years. Id invest in a wireless lav mic or find another way to upgrade audio in your videos. Very nice job on the wheels.
What I did to remove rust from chrome was the trick with coca cola, but instead using that I bought pack of citric acid, mixed with water and left all my chrome parts for a week there (some of them more some of them less, depends how much rusted they were at the beginning) After that rinsed everything with clean warm water. It is the most cheapest way and you save ton of elbow grease.
Hey GoldGuy this might be a weird question but I found your videos on turbo charging your Impreza from a while back and was wondering if you could tell me what plugged into the intake? I have the spectre kit but I don’t know what hoses I’m supposed to be connecting for the vacuum lines . Thanks for the help
seems like you could have saved the axel by using penitrating oil like PB blaster or 50/50 mix of acetone and trans fluid. and a little propane heat on the hub. just sayin!
Great job, just wonder why you work against the grain as you so often do. Just replace those rusty spokes next time to save your state of mind, and get a trued rim out of the deal. Take care and know your lost tires are on another bike nearby.
Dude, good job. Buy a box of disposable gloves. Cheap insurance. 50 year old dudes with cancer....leukemia and skin cancer from using solvents without PPE.
This is not the easy way. This is the lazy, half-cocked way. Those wheels should have been properly re-chromed, re-spoked with fresh stainless steel spokes. Do a proper job. Now they are just a "silver" like colour, not chrome.

Acid makes quick work of alot , great advice! It's my go to for rust inside gas tanks where abrasives can't go.
don't you need to neutralise the acid after that kind of bath?

That or Evaporust - i just did my rear wheel bits, spokes and chain on 1974 XL175- evaporust eats only rust and is neutral, wont eat any metal.
I just did my wheels on the Honda RX80...The rear was bad, but the front was pretty clean. Thanks for the upload...

Always enjoy watching your videos, good music and I like the editing/video style 👍
looks really good
Very excited to see how the bike looks all back together. Definitely take er for a spin on some trails when it's done

I see your cat helps you in the garage just like mine do
Amazing video, loved it as always 😁

I agree, you should replace the spokes especially if you’re going trail riding with it.
Your local powder coat specialist will be happy to talk to you about chrome-effect powder coating for those rims.
Looks great too! 🤙

Good job. But next time please replace the spokes there not that expensive but very important. It would also save you a lot of time.
@12:50 "If it can happen to you, It will happen to GoldGuy"
Just a suggestion, when painting over chrome , if you don't use an adhesion promoter the paint will eventually chip and peel.
Well I did use self etching primer, that should help promote adhesion.
@flippy66 self etching primer is better to use on metal than adhesion promoter, that's for plastic.
Don't forget to use soapy water on those tires when removing them. It will make it much easier!

I bought one of these new, thinking it would be like an Elsinore enduro. It was a heavy, gutless, terribly suspended hunk of metal.
Great video, song at the 10 min mark?
when I remove tires I spray with a soapy water solution

I wouldn't have bothered cleaning the inside of the drum with the drill.. just using the bike and braking will get all that paint off.. :)
@flippy66 nah, the rusty liner becomes a dust that you cab just blow out with air or brake cleaner.
Looks like you chipped the paint putting the tires on?
Its a shame that putting the tires destroyed the paint.
Spray paint without the hardener cant take that much of a beating, it is what it is
what for the grease with closed bearings?
seems like you could have saved the axel by using penitrating oil like PB blaster or 50/50 mix of acetone and trans fluid. and a little propane heat on the hub. just sayin!
Those wheels look great can not wait to see it finished , are you doing a freshening on the motor at all?
Did your car get over spray on it?
