...oh.. and I was so happy! inexperience showing through now I didn't read Joff NORTY40's advice with full 'understanding' ... he advised going 4x and said that 194 spokes would be good.I did 3x and all the spoke are too long OBVIOUSLY I understand NOW which is LIFE... and the way I have always done things rebuild time So what changes with a 4x build? obviously it crosses 4 spokes but is the rest the same?
Front wheel built and on the bike ( oh ye of little faith ) Back wheel being re-laced tonight I don't know if I like them now ffs ... sometimes.
I know it's sacrilege to do this to Mr SBD's work - but couldn't you strip the rims? Failing that by looks someone'll swap you 'em on here
Ed, pm coming re a swap bud.
they are going on here... I sold the Ukai Aeros I had to buy some wheels for my Haro. so its back to OGKS but it looks better with spokes... and I always wanted some 7x.I've swapped the brakes from white to silver and routed the cables... but now the white rims are the only white metal on the bike... and it just looks a bit wrong to me at the mo.whats a guy to do! still trying to work it out.
White chainring and the leave it - cos its lush!!

btw, why haven't you feed the brake cables into the tubes? I thought that was the small holes were for on the Pro??Paul
I've swapped the brakes from white to silver and routed the cables...
Thanx chaps... I still gaze at it with lurve... Cables are all routed now but not taking any more pics till I'm 100% happy - I can't strip the rims as they we heavily sandblasted when I got them so SBD was the only routed and he saved them.Its not black chrome ... is BMW Sepang bronze paint with a tinted black lacquer ... its my second go at trying to get something close to the original Ni-Bronze.Big Dan did me proud... and I even sent him the forks this time
It's the dogs nuts that Ed , I wonder what the White wheels would look like on my White DP GL ? It would be like an advert for a washing powder but kinda cool
