Re: How to blacken brass, advice needed.
Thanks for the info but hydrochloric acid is kind of a non-starter. I have worked with it before and didn't ever like the experience. All kinds of hazards. Not in my job jar if I can ever avoid...

Re: Need some advice on tires/wheels
I cut a couple of rims at 44.5mm where the tire sets. That seemed to work pretty good on the tires I got.

I looked at those tires. Like the tread pattern. The ones I got have a pretty simple road tread pattern. Might be good enough for the front tires. You said you are using both 22mm wide...

Re: Need some advice on tires/wheels
No specific model, more of a generic. I got intrigued by the telescoping boom structure and decided to see if I could make one. After some fooling around I got one built and working. It was sized...
