S staytong Dirt Disciple Jan 27, 2021 #1 Hi Can anyone tell me how I might protect some purple anodized rims from color loss due to brake rub? Would a softer compound brake pad help? Are there sealants for such things? Any help is appreciated. Cheers Attachments B6CC8023-E05C-4251-9E32-CC9E6752AD9B.jpeg 59.1 KB · Views: 337
