Default How much weight does powdercoating add to a wheel?
I was thinking of having my 6-spokes powdercoated, but then remembered someone saying that powdercoating adds a significant amount of weight. The TT 6-spokes already are a heavy wheel, so I don't want to be adding weight. Any inputs? Thanks
