A wheel makeover
« on: March 24, 2010, 01:42 PM »
Gave some tired looking old arayas a freshen up over the last couple of days so thought i'd take some pics and bore everyone with them

The flash of the camera makes em look better than they were in the before pic



Stripped ready for oven pride...



Stripping...



Done...



I get bored polishing so they're not great but will do for a rider...



New hubs and spokes from another radster... thanks Glen...  :daumenhoch:



Lacing up...



Done...



Trued up and on a bike...



Should get round to stripping the dx pedals...



Changed the redneck stem from a polished one to a red one while i was tinkering to add a bit more red but not sure i like it so gonna change it back...  :-\



Job done...  :daumenhoch:

Nice job on the wheels  :4_17_5:


Are the nipples Alloy ?
I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Cheers everyone...   :)

Nice job on the wheels  :4_17_5:

Yes Peter the nips are alloy, saw the thread about em the other day, i know they wont be right strong, i had problems with em snapping on my new school park bikes back wheel so swapped em for brass ones but this bike will only see occasional track use so should be ok

Hoping to get to more of the os rounds this summer...  :daumenhoch:

I'm itching to take it out for a blast
