hey hey 8-)

hoping i can pick your brains - rear wheel is losing the paint in largish flakes. took to local dealer who said over phone could do something as a goodwill gesture (they get parts i pay labour) as its out of warranty, which sounded great - but when i arrived they said goodwill had to be done by the dealer that sold the bike which is a long long long way off :headbang:

long story short lol - anyone know of a simple solution to this? or will i have to get the wheels stripped and repainted? also not sure whats causing it - anyone else seen this before?

many thanks for any advice ;)
