Q: De-lacing Rims - Specifically Cruiser Wheels
diesel:
Cheers all:
JJ - the spokes are ok ish, they are pretty thick gauge, but would need a re-chrome to make show worthy
Are 24" spokes still easy to get ahold of - My concern is that I would hate to chop them and then have problems getting the right length spokes
Dark Diggler:
If the spokes are mega tight, be careful if you cut em, dont cut 2 or 3 next to each other as you could twist and bend the rim, if you have to cut em, do opposite ones one at a time :daumenhoch:
Mattdub:
Spoke key , take them out seperately . Takes no time if yer sat in front of the TV . Also are the rims in good nick or need new anno ? , if they're good nick/minters you could scratch the rims going at the spokes with cutters because spokes tend to have a mind of there own when cut . No rush I'm assuming Dan ;) .
diesel:
Cool - I think therefore I will unscrew them one by one.
Just need to buy a spoke key now, any advice on which one to buy? 'One does all' kind of thingy, would be great
No rush, there off to be anodised anyway
