bike rim resurfacing

Step 6 Note the technique used

Note how I am using my right hand to spin the wheel and my left to secure the stone, using the bike fork as reinforcement. Hold the stone tightly so it doesn't get away from you, and be sure to over the entire side area of the rim by both moving the stone up and downb on the rim as you hone it, and placing it diagonally in both a toe-down and toe-up direction....Once you see a roughened surface, you know you are close to hiome....lighten the pressure once you see bare aluminum to hone the last of the anodization off...

Do this type of honing dry, you want some of the scoring, and some of the aluminum to collect on the stone to add to some of the abrasion. This methiod will also smooth the rim surface for more even braking throghout the rim's rotation...
