Can I paint mountain bike wheels?
I have an odd question and situation. My wheelset has 9mm QR axles. I upgraded the front axle and went with a 20mm thru axle. As a result, I got a new front wheel with a 20mm hub. Both rims are black, however my rear rim has silver side walls due to it being compatible with v-brakes, while the new front wheel is solid black, even on the side walls.
Well, I won't ever use v-brakes again on my bike, so that got me wondering - could I paint the side walls of my rear wheel? Would it cause any issues besides the obvious fact I'm taking away v-brake braking surface?
Is there a certain type of paint you guys would recommend for that? I certainly wouldn't need a lot, but I want to get the RIGHT stuff. I've only ever painted walls in houses...
Old Hippie - I don't mean to throw a "duhhh" remark your way, but I'm going to, which may make more sense as to why I don't care about v-braking surface.
Wait for it...
Wait for it...
I USE DISC BRAKES.
You stated, "Would it cause any issues besides the obvious fact I'm taking away v-brake braking surface?"
Isn't that a big enough issue? Want to cut your braking power in half? That's all I have to say. Anymore & Yahoo would just censor me.
