Wilkerson twisted spoke wheel build

<< < (3/7) > >>

kev-s:
ive done this to a set of super pros back in the early 90's

all i did was loosen of all the spokes a few turns then i undid one spoke a wrapped it around the spoke it crossed :daumenhoch:

Ed , nightmare pal,   Stidds is right on with his advice they're a real fooker to get tensioned up , and as G72 says they're noisy , ping like fook all the time,  see the above

i built  some twisted wheels, bit90's  ;D    took some time to get em settled, had to keep re truing em , eventually they were ok , thing is if they fail they do so properly n taco yer rim , spitting ya over the bars to a very nice face plant  :LolLolLolLol: , not putting ya off or owt :daumenhoch:  they do  look good though  :daumenhoch:

anybody seen the double twisted spoke ones on the 'bay  ^"^
was going to say i remember seeing a pic of jeese p riding with a set of these -will see if i can find the pic

ED209:
I like the idea of building them normal then doing the twist  :daumenhoch:

They will only get rolled around on ... not ridden in anger  :angel: but I'd love to get as close to an original set of WAL Riot wheels as I can.

Will post uo a pic of the rims / hubs in a bit ... Gav... I got all the decals from Ron. LMK if you are going to get some as I need some more... the rear hub ones don't fit! too small for the hub... and the rim ones didn't fit properly either  :buck2: which is maybe why they never got used BITD  ::)

but they went on near enough ...

Ed.....

Holla at me dude.....im ready  :daumenhoch:
