Sumo 7x's
« on: November 02, 2006, 05:24 PM »
Hi Guys , I have had these in the shed for a while now , couple of questions
1 - are they any good ?
2 - what are the hubs ?
3 - any idea of age ( hubs have f 84 (front) d 84 (back) ) is this the age of them ??
4 - are they worth doing up (gonna cost £40 to re lace em) ?
Any help very much appreciated  :daumenhoch:

PS- the hubs look nothing like that in the flesh , nice and black

Why is it going to cost £40 to re-lace them?  You can buy 100 spokes and nipples for £10 and lace them yourself for nowt.

Paul, if you do them one spoke at a time you won't need the guide as you'll do it all in situ and will make trueing them a lot easier with minimal risk of building in a flat spot  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away
