According to the various states of the rims, there are several possible solutions of restoration:
  • Simplest if the chromium plating is still relatively good is to clean with adapted products special for chromium. It is of course the most economic solution.

  • For the rusted or damaged rims, a possibility remains its replacement by a new one. Thanks to the remaking of the similar models of the S3800 by two different companies, many new parts like the rims and the tires are available. Dimensions of the rim correspond to the models since the 1700. Solution to put on the side by the purists because the rims are intended to carry tire tubes with new end and not Presta as at the origin. The hole to let pass the valve is thus larger...

  • The last possibility, most expensive but often necessary, is to make it Re-chromium plate. To reduce the costs, the disassembling of the rays and the polishing of the rim are to be carried out oneself. To envisage approximately 50 Euros of chromium plating.
