- I have a little rust on the inside of the rims. Would a DIY paint job (you know a couple of cans) suffice or should I go for a professional paint/power coating job. Wire brush will do, paint/clear coat if you like
On the road:
- manual air pump or air compressor I use both
- carry spare spokes and nipples yes or no Wouldnt bother, but they won't take up much extra space. Remember the rear uses 2 different kinds
- I'll be runing Heidenau K60 front and rear. I've changed the rear tyre a few times and breaking the bead (even in the confort of my garage) can be a pain. But so can re-beading it! Particularly getting the Heidenau back flush with the rim (I 've had to use the garage compressor). Any tips ideia how this works on the road with lets say a manual air pump. K60 is a bitch to mount, only advice is to get the tire nice and hot, making it more flexible. Se if you can change tires where a compressor is availible

Hope this helps.
