I’d ask Steve but can’t land him anywhere.
I’ve had my TF since around ‘08. Recently a rear rim had developed a slow leak. Soaped it and it bubbles along the bead. Had the tire dismounted and the chrome on my lip has developed a crack, which has begun chipping away causing “pits” along the bead and my leak.
My father-in-law has recommended using POR15 and coating the interior of the rim to essentially fill in the pits and cease the cracking. Part of me is a little worrisome applying this if it doesn’t work I guess. Not sure it can even be removed if it doesn’t work or would affect the outer hoop.
Be nice to just send it to Steve, or a shop that could rehoop it.
Just looking for any feedback, recommendations. Trying to not f&@k up my rim. Thanks
