Hopefully I should be fine as I don't plan on going anywhere near 120mm

Should be up before I go training tomorrow if the wheels fit on fine

Still some paint to come off but its in awkward place so probably use dremel to get it off.

Once i see some dry weather ill treat them then and give them spray - probably just black.

Finally got all the red paint off and rubbed rust down, was a massive pain as the top 3 coils have 0 space between them and bottom two have non either ended up using a file to get the crap off.

I've put some of this rust stuff on which my dad gave me. Its meant to protect it from rusting, when i painted it on it was blue colour and it dried completely black.

Just need to spray in the colour of my choice now, might just go boring black or maybe red again dont like jazzy colours.
