My Borbets on my van lasted 1 month before degrading. Wax or a metal sealent simply wouldnt stick and 600miles a week didnt help.
They are a state now. Pitted and dull. 240grit sand paper would touch them. :(

I don't do that many miles and they lasted pretty much all last year with just sealant top ups.
They didn't neeed doing that badly, but I had curbed one of them so neeed that buffing out

Posh bolts - what are they coated in?

How was Mimms? (It all seems like a bit of a faff to me these days, compared to the loose fun it used to be)
