and I said I'd only do the one bike.....here's to no. 3 (MT SuperFox this time)

<< < (4/4)

1mancity2:
Your bike bud put on it what you want but I would strip the dacals off them rims and polish them up, why bin them if they can be saved  :daumenhoch:

griff:
like I said not worried about the OS police, more concerned with the time/effort to clean em up, find hubs/right length spokes and possibly waste the time of the kind chap who offered to lace em up for me if they're crap rims to start with.. anyone know how would these compare with arayas in the strength department (are arayas just expensive cos they're era correct or are they genuinely much better quality?)

BITD I only ever had z-rims, not going down that road again though due to 1) cost and 2) not wanting to flex all over the place  :D

HUTCHMAN:
Griff,found the copy MX1000'S for you!

Munnyella:
I'd use the mongoose rims if 36h, if 48's save them for your next project (it'll come)

I got some generic 36 holers on ebay last month for £7 + P&P, stripped, powdered and reasembled after polishing the spokes, look ok.

if you have no rush, there are bargains to be had.

they're 48s Mark, worried that if I keep them I'll end up using em  ::)
£7 is defo. my kind of budget  :daumenhoch: not in a rush so keeping em peeled - just need to get the thing built in time for Hutchman to kick my arse on our local track  :daumenhoch: most of the prices I've seen for spokes + sealed hubs keep making NS tuffs look like very good value
