found a sumo frount wheel in me shed today, it has a low flange hub with kj stamped on it in the middle.
spokes where completly rusted .
does anyone know if its worth re spoking or scrap.
it looks like a ukai without the white lines
thanx

got one pair of sumo's. they are exact replicas of 7x,s. Any straight, useable, genuine OS rim is worth saving in my opinion.

i've got 2 sets of sumo rims laced to some no name hubs and i tell you, unless you read the engraving you cannot tell the difference between them and arayas. the only difference i can see is your bank account lasts longer buying them over arayas
