I've noticed several posts lately about powder-coating wire wheels,
and I'm curious. Do you powder-coat them before assembling them? I would
think that coating them after assembly would mean you'll never be able to
true the wheel again. Perhaps just the rim and center are powder-coated, and
stainless-steel spokes and nipples are used uncoated to permit truing?
