    Wheel straighten / Powdercoating group buy

    One of my sponsors:
    Next Generation Powedercoating and Metal Polishing
    Is doing a racer appreciation group "buy" on wheel straightening and powdrcoating... A rush can be put on parts at your request, but I'm offering free transportation from/to Loudon from the August 30/31 races and back to September 27/28 races.

    I've seen Next Generation fix some pretty horrid wheels, so anything they can fix is $80 no matter what condition it's in (please remove cush drives, etc. and clean wheel prior to drop-off).

    Also, powdercoating is $80 per wheel for solid colors, and $100 per wheel for metallic... THIS IS A STEAL FOLKS.

    Get on this list, and if you want to drop them off and pick them up seperately (as little as one day turn around) you can... my pick-up/drop-off is just an open offer.

    Need 5 guys to make this happen... i'd be in but denno and I just got our wheels staightened by him

    Chuck, even though that wheel is crushed... it's not really all that bad as far as bent rims go.

    blade rider, yes... snake, i'm sure he would, but doubt group buy price would apply... he'd probably take a lot more time on it to be safe... call and ask 'rob' if he's in, i'll grab it for you.

    degs, i'm not sure if I'll have room in my trailer for an extra wheel... maybe for a pirelli shirt I'd be able to find some room haha

    ok, well keep the contact for the off-season. if you decide you can spare your bike for a day, he can do a one day turn around.

    tires removed if you want the $80 price, depending on the bend he can sometimes do it without removing the tire.

    db - that's fixable, but not the basic $80... welding is going to add $

    wow, one day on the turn-over, I have a slight wobble in front wheel, couldn't notice it till standing up on bike looking down on wheel, so just straightening, no coating.

    I am in boston area, I have a wagon if people want wheels to get over to springfield. What is best way to get this together Kitt?

    FYI, I'm heading up to Loudon for the race weekend from Boston. I'll bring wheels to Kitt for next to nothing.

    I was going to be heading to springfield anyway, and I have a buddy that lives right there that can bring them back, pm me, I am right in boston area with wagon if anyone needs anything done, that way we can take advantage of quick turn around time.
