Wow that was hard work one rim per night they where properly rusty, down to the shot boasters next and then a suitable coating and then the most expensive bit TIRES I wish you could still buy the old Michelin bibex xm47 they were awsome tires the new xm47 isn't a patch on them still good in my opinion marginally better than the Continental Ac70. The cases on the xm are the same I think but I'm sure the rubber is of a softer material and the old bibex tire had a more aggresive tread and they also had a bead protector as well. We need to find someone that can retread the cases with the bibex patern.
