ORIGINAL: Sec Super Glide

I started on my front wheel and gave up, I have noted my wife does not pay much attention to the Visa bill around X Mass she just pays it . Look like my next Christmass present
I wouldn't wait until Xmas for some rotor bling. If you don't want to polish yours, you can get some snazzy polished ones for about 60 bucks each. This is only one of the styles.

I found out the the renegade wheel will not accept my existingrotor in the front, so I need to purchase a new one. I am going to keep the rotor and pulley in the rear and just add the chrome sproket cover and polish up the rotor.

IMHO, if you want chrome, go chrome. Polishing what you have will look better, but it won't be chrome and,, let's face it, chrome is easy maintenance.

Completely chromed rotor? That won't work out too well. The chrome will wear off the pad area, then likely peel from the rest.

The average person can't tell high polished stainless from chrome.
