Hi there. Did you paint the hangers or have them powdercoated? Was it a struggle to remove the old coating?

Thanks

I gave them to a place that does car wheels, they blasted the old finish off before powder coating.
£65 including the bottom yoke.
The finish was about 20% flaked off, the new PC is a lot thicker .

Thanks for that. Colour match ok? Thought about polishing them but that does tend to create a long term habit. Would rather ride than repair.

Cheers

Have a look, not perfect but not offensive, I have a wee rooster to make the bike look bigger.

They do look nice. Will have to try that myself.
