Any thoughts on powder coating spokes? Trued and re-tensioned a set in the past but have a client at the moment who want to paint the rim and spokes. So I've taken the wheel apart. Guess the process will cover the threads so I'll need to scrape it off. I suggested using BMX spokes as an alternative due to them being available in various colours and the wheel being small but he seems keen on the powder coat.
I also need to disassemble a Shimano Nexus hub for a powder coat too. It goes into a kiln / oven right? So grease will need to be removed?
