Thanks for the info. By the way my 1st refresh was 22yrs in the making. Lol. Now that I’m retired I hope to do better on the Rt100

Mel, which set of wheels came out best? The ones you prepped on the ones you didn’t. Also has the unprepped wheels powder coat held up as well as the others?

Ron, any bar marked Magura isn't original, but an aftermarket accessory. You must end up with 22 mm, not more or you will break that castings. Thanks Duane, I knew you'd have the answer for that. I have looked at some other aftermarket stuff and thinking they may not be the 22mm I needed. thats rea...

You couldn't replace them with new for less than that, so if you like the bars, go for it. edit: just make sure the final diameter on the perch area is close to 22mm when it is done. Have you ever tried "S" or "Euro" bars? They give the bike an entirely different feel. I have be...
