ANyone running PittBulls 37

If you're going to do it yourself, it makes it a lot easier if you make a cardboard cut out ring to go around the bolts and number them with the tightening sequence, which is the cross, 90, cross method.

I also have a cardboard cutdown to paint my steel rings.  Can't handle the aluminum gouging that i got with aluminum rings.


John taught me a sweet technique to touch up the steel rings. Love it.

Maybe he will share w you. I'm not at liberty to pass it along.

Ha, it's nothing too special.

After the power washing and hand soap wash down make sure your rings are nice and dry. I simply use a small can of rustoleum black gloss paint  and an artist brush and paint any of the rock rash spots. Standard process after each ride because I hate rust spots and it really only takes a couple min per wheel.

Got it. My cardboard has a cut out of a curved slot to match the ring about 8-10" long and I press it against the wheel, spray the clean ring from a few angles, done. Goes really fast. Rustoleum satin.

How do you handle the rash that happens on the inner part of the ring sometimes?  That's where the hand painting works well. And in between bolt heads too.

Inner part doesn't get scratched at school

I haven't had any there I don't believe as they are a little inset and the mall curbs don't reach there. I'll look tonight.
