Skratchski:
Question chaps, should i re build my wheels with the og spokes or get new ones? They were chrome plated originally, but are rusty, flaked, pitted etc, gave them a citrus acid bath and cleaned one up with wet n dry, theyll come up really good wi LOTS of work. (done one for test)
Im bothered they`ll just go rusty again pretty quick.
Thoughts? Anyone here resto`d knackered spokes???

That Swan Guy:
fook that, buy new ones! :LolLolLolLol:

Dannywhac:
Yarp - they sound like waaay too much work. Get new uns.

Handy tip though if you're restoing stainless - wine cork with a single notch cut in one end. Run the cork up and down the spokes and bobs your uncle.

NORTY40:
When you have done 10 come back on this thread and say ' I have decided to buy some new ones ''  :D  ;)

Skratchski:
Lol cheers  chaps. Ive already got some new uns, but thought  seeing as im restoring it etc, ok fook it, ill stick to the newies.
